Maine Wharf
Maine Wharf is a historic wharf in Portland, Maine. It is located on Commercial Street, between Franklin Street and Pearl Street, on the edge of the Fore River. On the waterfront side, it is situated between Maine State Pier (to the north) and Custom House Wharf (to the south).
Today's businesses that exist on the wharf include Scales and Bang Island Mussels. The former Dry Dock Restaurant & Tavern stands at the head of the wharf in a building formerly occupied by Randall & McAllister. The restaurant closed in 2018, after over thirty years in business.
