Champlain's 1607 chart of the Kennebec. In 1605, French explorer Samuel de Champlain navigated the coast of what is now Maine, charting the land and rivers of what was then called New France, L'Acadie, including the Kennebec as far upriver as present-day Bath, as well as the St. Croix, and Penobscot rivers.

The waters of the bay flow out through The Chops at low tide, while high tide brings a mix of fresh water and seawater back up the Kennebec. The river flow volume from six rivers typically exceeds the volume of the incoming tide. Combined with the bottleneck of The Chops, the result is a tidal waterbody with very little salt, known as brackish.
The New Meadows River is a 12-mile-long (19 km) [1] tidal embayment in Maine at the northern end of Casco Bay. It serves as the boundary between Cumberland and Sagadahoc counties for its entire length. It begins in a marsh on the boundary between Brunswick and Bath, less than 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Merrymeeting Bay, and proceeds southward.

Another significant high tide hit the southern Maine coast Sunday, swamping roadways, destroying dunes and flooding private properties. “Some damage was different, and some where temporary ...
Tide flow information is most commonly seen on nautical charts, presented as a table of flow speeds and bearings at hourly intervals, with separate tables for spring and neap tides. The timing is relative to high water at some harbour where the tidal behaviour is similar in pattern, though it may be far away.
Waves were already starting to splash over the seawall two hours before high tide at 12:19 p.m. The storm surge, officials said, was "2.5 to 3 feet, with inundation of 1 to 3.5 feet."
The table below provides information on Maine islands, organized by several key columns. Below is an explanation of each column. Registry #: The unique identifier assigned to each island by the Maine Coastal Island Registry (CIR). Multiple islands may share the same name, but each has a distinct registry number.
