"Clipper Meridian"
"Shipspotting.com" says the "Clipper Meridian" is a heavy-lift general cargo ship built in Aarhus Denmark in 1996, with length of 331 feet (101m), with a beam of 69 feet (21m), and drawing 25.5 feet (7.8m); 6310 Gross Tonnage. Last reported location in May 2018 was off the Tsugaru Strait near Japan.
Lying off Eastport Maine, empty and riding high, she is probably waiting for a load of shredded wood chips for paper processing somewhere. With many owners and names in the 21st Century, she was only named "Clipper Meridian" between Sept 2010 and Oct 2012; and is now named "NB Atlantic", flagged in Israel, based in Haifa.
In the background is Campobello Island, New Brunswick Canada, where Franklin Roosevelt's summer cottage is located. (However, the white building is not Roosevelt's house.)
