Portland has long been admired for its geographical setting - the "beautiful city by the sea". At the same time, its ice-free port has made it an ideal site for the development of coastal industry. Much of the city's history, John F. Bauman shows, has been defined by the effort to reconcile the competing interests generated by these attributes.
