The division was formed under Captain Thomas Myers and the Casco Bay Navy League and LTJG Roger Sabourin as its first Commanding Officer.  The division held its first drill at the USCG base in South Portland Maine on September 1, 2000 ... it was also the Commanding Officer's birthday.

The division started with 6 cadets, two officers and two instructors. Today we have 32 cadets, five officers, three instructors and still growing.

Since our beginning in Building #5 on the US Coast Guard Base, this division has completed CPR Training, First Aid, Rifle Qualifications and Swim Qualifications twice a year. The swim qualifications are performed at the South Portland Maine Recreational Center with the help of Parks and Recreation Director Mr. Dana Anderson who is a friend to the Sea Cadet Corps.

We have also been aboard every type vessel that the CG Group Portland has at their base.  We also use all assets that the CG Group has including STA Portland, Station Portsmouth, the ANT of South Portland, also the 110 foot Cutters Wrangle and Jefferson Island.
