Brian,

Here's another tidbit about Temple Bar. I know this has nothing to do with the Bluenose.

Robert Temple, a young entrepeneur of the early 18th-century, brought 500 Irish settlers to a region in Maine known at that time as Sagadahock. He settled first on Temple Bar near Bath, Maine on the Kennebec River. He then settled all of these Irish immigrants north of present day Bath near Merrymeeting Bay and named the settlement after Cork Ireland. Native Americans gave them a rough time and burned them out and the fled the province. Their descendents moved back to claim the land when forts were established on the Kennebec. Hayden Temple lives there today.
