One of the most asked questions of the Maine tourist has to do with the term Down East. It would seem that inasmuch as Maine is north of the rest of the country Down is a contradiction of terms. In early times it turns out the state was generally reached from Boston and other points by sailing vessel. Since the prevailing wind is westerly travelers sailed downwind to Maine creating the local term going down to Maine or Down East. DOWN EAST Windjammers off the Maine coast.
