Albion

Here lies Albion, the name given England by Romans from the Latin for white, albus, referring to the chalk cliffs of Dover. She rests high above Muscongus Bay in Maine, having long since traded the water below for a sea of grass. I’ve often wondered, why bring it all the way up here? Was this vantage point considered a more dignified retirement? Or was there a more practical reason, like the owner needed the dock space?
