"Maine's Coastal Devastation: Storms Unearth Shipwreck and Sweep Away Iconic Fishing Shacks"

TL;DR Summary
A powerful winter storm in Maine washed away three historic fishing shacks that had stood since the 1800s, just days after a shipwreck from 1911 was exposed on a beach. The shacks, which had recently undergone a facelift, were owned by the city of South Portland and were a significant part of the community's history. The storm also caused record high tides, flooding homes and causing damage to coastal communities. Additionally, the shipwreck of the Tay, a schooner that ran aground in 1911, was unearthed at Acadia National Park, exposing a piece of maritime history.
