Well, I guess learned the meaning of "doxy" today.  Derived from "dock"?  3000 is small.  Maine only has two or three real cities.  Another factor would be, at least in 1795, that morals of the time meant that if you're only after one thing, or want it anytime soon, like before you go out again for more tuna (I swear no joke whatsoever was intended there, just noticed it myself.  What joke?  Why none at all.  I just imagined it.  Moving on...), then "doxies" are your only hope.  So maybe they travel up and down the coast, going to the different ports.  If they're enterprising young go-getters, that is.
I'm aware of only one cannery in Collinsport, the Collins's. If they had competition, I never heard about it.
Penny: You just forced me to imagine the cello music swelling, the camera panning over to reveal BC's newest victim on the Collinsport docks... and it's... a red tucked-in-shirt Star Trek crewman, screaming in agony as BC's fangs sink in... making the most of his one and only appearance ever on network television....
