Reiseverlauf
Treten Sie an der Working Waterfront in das Herz von Portlands maritimer Seele, wo verwitterte Docks und salzige Luft immer noch die Geschichte einer am Meer erbauten Stadt erzählen. Während Fischerboote den Fang des Tages entladen und das Rad über Kopf schwingen, werden Sie den Puls eines Hafens spüren, der sowohl die Wirtschaft Portlands als auch seine Kultur ernährt. Dieser Stopp bietet mehr als nur einen Ausblick – er ist eine Chance, eine lebendige, atmende Verbindung zum Meer zu erleben, wo Tradition und Industrie bei jeder Gezeiten- und Holzkai aufeinandertreffen.
Haltestelle: Portland Fish Exchange Besuchen Sie die Portland Fish Exchange, eine der wenigen noch funktionierenden Fischauktionen in den USA. An Auktionstagen können Sie den rasanten Verkauf von frischem Fang beobachten, wenn sich Fischer und Käufer in Echtzeit durch den Prozess bewegen. An Nicht-Auktionstagen erhalten Sie immer noch einen Blick hinter die Kulissen, wie Meeresfrüchte angelandet, gehandhabt und für den Markt vorbereitet werden, sowie Einblicke in die Systeme, die Portlands Fischereiindustrie am Laufen halten. Stop : ISF-Handel Betreten Sie ISF Trading, eine funktionierende Fischverarbeitungsanlage, um einen praktischen Einblick zu erhalten, wo einige der frischesten Fische Maines zubereitet und vertrieben werden. Während Ihres Besuchs probieren Sie eine Auswahl an frischen, rohen Meeresfrüchten, während Sie sich über die Beschaffung, Saisonalität und die Besonderheiten der Maine-Meeresfrüchte informieren.

I love history and this tour did not come up short. What an amazing journey through the Old Port and time! Our guide Pete painted a picture of the past that you could see in the existing buildings and roads. He answered questions (about the port history and dining recommendations), took time to get to know us, and made us feel as if we were walking through town with an old friend. P.S. his dining recommendations did not disappoint

Excellent tour! Explored the wharf and surrounding area. Eric, our guide grew up and worked in the area. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared stories as well as facts. The seafood tasting at the end of the tour was a highlight. As a side note I accidentally left something at the meeting/ending site. They went above and beyond making sure i knew I left it and keeping it safe until I was able to return. Well run tour organizers! Would tour with them again
