Shipwrecks and Other Maritime Disasters of the Maine Coast

See all formats and editions

With its incessant fogs and infamously craggy coast, Maine has long been a bane of mariners.

Scores of vessels and countless lives have been lost on its rocky shores.

Taryn Plumb explores the tragic history of shipwrecks in Maine, focusing on a dozen or so of the most interesting and weaving in tales of pirates, lost treasure, violent storms, and other disasters.

Maine’s role in shipbuilding is legendary, and the history of vessels meeting their demise here is equally compelling.
