and about what time would it be?

Answer 1

No, you will have to travel to the NW Passage or Greenland to see it from the closest area to Maine.

Answer 2

Hi Camden.

Where you are, you'll see nothing.  You could drive to Madawaska and you'd see a little of the partial eclipse.

The eclipse in Madawaska starts at 5:15 a.m.,Eastern Daylight Time, when the sun rises with 13% of its disc eclipsed.  The eclipse then rapidly ends, and by 5:30 it's all over.  Remember, you'd need a clear view of the northeastern horizon to see even this much.

I saw where one writer said that you'll see a lot of the partial eclipse from Camden, but this is completely wrong.  None of the August 1 solar eclipse, either total or partial, can be seen from Camden.

Answer 3

Camden, Maine, will not be able to see the eclipse.  It will be too far north for you.  Here's a map with the total track:

Answer 4

You should see a partial eclipse.  Go to NE Canada for a bit of total eclipse.
