The eight aerial photographs found below are of Eastport and date from almost 40 years ago - 1964. They were taken by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. As a group they show the Eastport landscape just as the tiny city's population was beginning to stablize after almost 70 years of decline from the height of the sardine industry activity around 1900 when Eastport's population stood at over 5,300. The photographs were taken 12 years before the Ground Hog Day Gale of 1976 which further decimated the waterfront. In 1964, Eastport's population stood at about 2,300. Thirty years later, in the 1990s, Eastport would begin to lose population again, falling to 1,600 in the year 2000.
