Newport, Rhode Island. The rays of the rising sun touch the top of Cadillac Mountain before any other spot in the country, and on island- dotted Penobscot Bay, little Bar Harbor wakes to another busy day. Tall ships unfurl their sails while harbor seals and porpoises play in the wide blue bay. Bar Harbor has been a haven for wealthy summer visitors since the early 1900s.
