Words fail me! I cannot even imagine how 1,000 cruise ships could visit in a day, let alone 3-5000. The harbor itself is so small they must be anchoring way out. What a mess! The crowds must be horrendous. The damage to the environment horrible. I lived outside Bucksport in the 70’s and in Orono in the 80’s. We went down to Bar Harbor and Acadia often and it was magical. I visited once in the 90’s and couldn’t handle how crowded it was then. The local corruption you cite is staggering. It’s hard to believe this is happening in Maine. Keep up the good fight!
One cruise ship can disembark 3000-5000 people. One company has a monopoly on the tenders and piers (which should be run by the town but the council gave it away.)

1000 disembarkations. That means 1000 people.
