The Islesboro section of the booklets feature pictures of Lincolnville Beach, a three-masted schooner (Victory Chimes?), the Governor Muskie ferry, the first tee at the Tarratine golf course, and Gindel Point. The last two pages of the booklets are dedicated to the identification of marine life and lights and buoys.
