More than half of Monhegan Island is designated as "Wildlands" which is basically wilderness and un-developed coastline. I was able to spend most of one morning and a late evening exploring and it was a fantastic experience! I felt like Winslow Homer, Herman Melville and John Masefield all morphed into one... Hope you enjoy the video and pictures...

| The blue object in the foreground is trash, such as lobster traps and buoys |

| Wreck of the D.T. Sheridan. Grounded on the rocks in a dense fog, November 5, 1948, while towing barges |

| Yours truly exploring the wreck |

| The trails were pretty rough |

| South end of Monhegan |
While I was standing at this spot I kept hearing a bell which I thought was perhaps on a ship but I finally figured out it was on a buoy out of sight in the fog (BTW...my camera has a time delay so I could take a self photo!)

| The highlight of my island visit...getting to see some wild seals |
I could hear these seals grunting and barking so I tried to get as close as I could. They were really wild because when I tried to get closer they all slid off the rocks and disappeared.
