The Maine Warden Service is searching for a Massachusetts man whose boat was found abandoned on Moosehead Lake in Greenville.

The service said Friday that it was trying to locate Robert Hammond, 66, of Hanson, Massachusetts, after receiving a complaint about an abandoned boat near the shore of Moose Island on Moosehead Lake.

Game wardens went to the area Friday and found a boat almost on shore in very shallow water with no sign of Hammond, the boat’s owner, the warden service said. They then checked his campsite at Spencer Bay on Moosehead Lake and learned that he had not returned to it the previous night.

It asked that anyone who may have seen Hammond on Moosehead Lake to call the warden service at 973-3700.
