Historic fishing shacks in South Portland, Maine, which had stood for over 100 years and recently been restored, were swept into Casco Bay by powerful storm surges. The shacks, beloved as a local attraction and backdrop for art, were captured tumbling into the water in a widely shared video, leaving the community saddened by their loss.
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.
