Did you know that just off the coast of Eastport, Maine is the largest tidal whirlpool in the western hemisphere? It's the 'Old Sow' whirlpool has a diameter of approximately 250 feet.
Time Square and the ball drop have nothin’ on Eastport’s The Great Sardine & Maple Leaf Drop. Yes, it sound like just what it is, they drop a sardine and a maple leaf. Since Easport is on line between Maine and Canada they celebrate twice. At 11pm eastern (midnight Atlantic time) they drop a 4-foot red plywood maple leaf, then at midnight they drop the sardine.
