Camp Lee-Stephenson is located at Quoddy Village, Eastport, Maine. In 1943 the Navy took possession of Quoddy Village from the National Youth Administration. The camp was built in 1935 by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to house workers for the world’s largest tidal dam project, the Passamaquoddy Dam. I have personal history with Quoddy Village when my father as part of the National Youth Administration during the Great Depression came to Eastport to work on the tidal dam project. It was here he first met my mother a native of Eastport. With the outbreak of World War II my father spent years in North Africa, India, Burma and China. After the war he returned to Eastport reconnected with Mom and eventually got married.
The post war camp was dedicated to two Naval officers who died during the war
