Jonathan Philbrick

Jonathan Philbrook, was a shipwright, a farmer and a very enterprising man. In 1728 he sold his property in Greenland, and moved to Arundel, York County, Maine and then to Saco. He built the first ship ever built in Bath, Maine.

   In 1743 he removed to Long Reach on the Kennebec and built a garrison house which sheltered four families in the Indian Wars. He and his sons built vessels there. Their shipyard was near the spot where the Custom House in Bath now stands.
