A National Historic Site, the steamboat Katahdin, more than any other remaining piece of Moosehead’s history, truly reflects the many eras, interests, and businesses of the region’s past and present. Built in 1914 by the young shipyard Bath Iron Works, the Katahdin was later converted to diesel. Now beyond her centennial year, she is the final link to a bygone era. Affectionately called the “Kate,” she’s a beautiful vessel and a step into the past.
