The Eerie Tale Of This Shipwreck Off Maine Will Keep You Awake Tonight
In addition to lobster, coastal homes and funny accents, Maine is known for its weather. For two or three wonderful months, we have weather to rave about. But, depending on your preference, we have a fair few months where things aren’t so brag-worthy. In addition to the cold and the snow, coastal Maine has some pretty significant fog that rolls in during the morning and night. Today, we’re pretty well-equipped to ensure that boats navigate safely. But, this wasn’t always the case. With a long maritime history, tales of shipwrecks are expected. But some, like the wreck of the Bohemia, are more awful than others.
On the night of February 22, 1864, Capt. Robert Borland was in charge of The Royal Mail Ship Bohemian as it headed for Portland Harbor.
Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
