Trivia

Why are the islands of Casco Bay called the Calendar Islands?

Answer

Early explorers claimed there were as many islands as there were days in the year, and the myth persists today. The United States Coastal Pilot lists 136 islands. Other sources claim about 220, depending on what is counted as an island.
