The Pennell family emigrated to Massachusetts and Maine in the fist years of the 1700's and established a large shipyard at Middle Bays, near Brunswick, Maine.. This location became one of the most famous shipbuilding sites on the Maine coast, and here Thomas Pennell completed in ninety days, ready to launch a privateer which was employed by the colonists during the revolutionary war. While Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe resided at Brunswick, she often visited the Pennells. . When the poet Longfellow was a student at Bowdoin College he witnessed many a launching scene at Middle Bays, hence his famous poem, "The Building of the Ship." One of these vessels was "The Union."Condition
