Ram Island
For years Ram Island had been a popular destination for people in Castine, Penobscot, and Brooksville who rowed, sailed, or powered to clam its flats, to camp overnight, to watch for ospray and to fish. When the property was put up for sale in 1979, the fledgling Conservation Trust, realizing one of the most popular spots in the area might be lost to the public, formed The Committee to Save Ram Island (Margaret Booth, Richard Danforth, Elizabeth Foote, Douglas Endicott) to raise the $30,000 needed for purchase. The result of their efforts was the first property purchased outright by the Trust.
Ram Island, actually two islands connected by a bar, lies southeasterly from Nautilus Island and north of Harborside.
