Street artist Pigeon's artwork tackles the multifaceted topic of immigration.

The collector of Portland was the key to federal patronage in Maine, though other ports and towns had collectors.

As in Colonial times, the person appointed to head the custom House in Casco Bay was almost always a leading community figure, or a well-connected political personage.
