Vinalhaven is a town located on the larger of the two Fox Islands in Knox County, Maine, United States. Vinalhaven is also used to refer to the Island itself. The population was 1,165 at the 2010 census. It is home to a thriving lobster fishery and hosts a summer colony. Since there is no bridge to the island, Vinalhaven is accessible from Rockland via an approximately hour-and-fifteen-minute ferry ride across West Penobscot Bay, or by air taxi from Knox County Regional Airport.
History
Archeological remains indicate that the island was first inhabited 3800–5000 years ago by the Red Paint People. Later, it became Abenaki territory. Europeans visited in the 16th century, and English Capt. Martin Pring named the archipelago Fox Islands in 1603. The first permanent English settlement occurred in 1766 when Thaddeus Carver from Marshfield, Massachusetts, arrived, and later purchased 700 acres (2.8 km2) from Thomas Cogswell on the southern shore near what would become known as Carver's Harbor.

Fino Alla Fine
by: Banda BassottiSepellito sotto un cumulo di terra Come un ramo di un albero bruciato Le macerie souvenir della guerra Chi saluta ? un braccio annerito Una luce ti ha portato via In un attimo hai visto la tua vita Quella stella non brillava sul tuo petto La vergogna guida i carri piombati I capelli e i denti e i sogno degli zingari inseguono il Reich 60 anni nascoso adesso ritorna da dentro i mortai Fino alla fine Un incontro lungo tutto una vita i bambini (che) nascono gi? grandi e le mosche guardano nei loro occhi I soldati mentre giocano alla guerra Triste vado via Con il fuoco dentro le risposte Restano senza respiro e la nausea Che mi sale dentro come un'arma che mi tiene sveglio FINO ALLA FINE
