Great Shipwrecks of the Maine Coast

Focusing on the maritime history of New England, the book explores notable shipwrecks, lighthouses, and sea heroes, beginning with the devastating hurricane of 1635 and the sinking of the Angel Gabriel. It recounts dramatic events like the 1710 Boon Island wreck, the Penobscot Expedition, and a tragic circus ship disaster in 1836. The narrative also covers the mysterious 1941 motorboat explosion that claimed 34 lives. Enhanced by archival photographs and etchings, D'Entremont's storytelling brings these historical maritime events to life.
