Little Whaleboat Islands – a 22-acre cluster of three small islands (Little Whaleboat, Nate and Tuck) and ledges. The Maine Coast Heritage Trust is a land conservation organization with a great deal of experience in conserving islands like these. Created in 1970, it has conserved over 156,000 acres across the state, including 148 public preserves and 325 coastal islands. MCHT owns and manages a chain of islands in the area: Goslings, Whaleboat, Clapboard Island East and Lanes. MCHT also has a partner in Maine Beer Company, which pledged $50,000 to the Little Whaleboat Islands Project.
