Long-time Tide Mill Institute supporter John Morse commissioned videographer and drone pilot Troy Watson to take drone video of four tide mill sites in and around Phippsburg, Maine, on the Kennebec River just south of Bath. The result is clear and spectacular views of these sites – available online to anyone. Click the links below to view these videos on YouTube.
As these ruins continue to degrade with age, the videos will become more and more valuable as part of the historic record. Tide Mill Institute is grateful to John for making them available.
These are wonderful! Thank you Mr. Morse for sponsoring such a valuable resource!
Thank you John Morse for being proactive in documenting deterioration & bringing this issue to John Q Public‼️ As an historian living on the Kennebec, having been educated on tidewater mills by Bud Warren, I maintain an interest in these old relics of Maine’s past.
