DEEP COVE is on the west side of Moose Island, next to the Eastport airport. Fish pens are moored in the cove, and a long dock extends from near the big blue building of the Washington County Marine Trades Center, which offers nationally-renowned courses in commercial fisheries, marine mechanics, painting, and boatbuilding.
