Additional Property Attributes

Former Navy base and pearl essence manufacturing plant proposed for rehabilitation for educational facility. Building materials inspection for lead and asbestos planned as next step for building renovation work.

Former Use: The property was owned by the City of Eastport from 2008 to 2011 and had been operated as a marine trades and boat building school by several entities from approximately 1977 to present. From 2002 to 2008, the Site was owned and operated by the Maine Community College System, which was known previously as the Maine Technical College System. From 1977 to 2002, the Site was owned by the State of Maine Department of Education and operated as the Marine Trades Center by the Washington County Technical College. The State of Maine Department of Education acquired a majority of the Site from the City of Eastport in 1977 and a smaller abutting property from the City in 1987. Paispearl Products Co. operated a pearl essence manufacturing operation on the Site in the late 1960s to early 1970s. Paispearl reportedly obtained portions of the Site from the City of Eastport in 1969 and from Valimar Corporation in 1967. Prior to its use as a pearl essence manufacturing facility, the Site was developed for use as a U.S. Navy seaplane base in the early 1940s. Helicopter pads and a seaplane ramp were reportedly installed on the Site, but little additional information was available regarding activity and subsequent closure of the base between the time of construction ca. 1942 and 1967 when the Paispearl Products Co. reportedly purchased much of the property. Prior to ca. 1942, the Site was reportedly undeveloped. The property was sold to Perry Marine construction in late 2011 for fabrication of tidal power generators. A portion of the land was also donated to Friends of the Boat School who will continue boat building education programs.
