Charles W. Morse is a notorious character, whose name is still
well-recognized in Bath and around the state of Maine. He made
millions in the ice trade in the late nineteenth century (a major
industry in Maine at the time that helped spur its economic
development), created and worked in an important company that
created steamboats and tugboats, and was later blamed for the
financial panic of 1907, earning the disdain of Theodore Roosevelt,
William Randolph Hearst, JP Morgan, and Mark Twain. His story
unites many important industries and movements in Maine's history,
and also connects them to the larger narrative of American
innovation and inventiveness.
