The Governor Muskie was built by the Wiley Manufacturing Company, Port DePosit, MD. It could hold twenty-four vehicles, was 119.4 feet long, had a 40 foot beam, and had a 560 hp engine. The Governor Muskie began service to Islesboro in 1959 and was replaced by the Margaret Chase Smith Ferry in 1987.
