Part of the Summer 2023 Maritime Lecture Series!
Local historian Arthur Milmore will discuss the loss of the steamer ship Portland, a palatial side-wheel which left Boston in November of 1898 for Portland, Maine, and never arrived. It was caught in 100 MPH winds, and all 192 passengers, along with the crew of 65, perished. The wreck would not be found for 91 years and over 30 miles from where it was thought to have sunk.
Included in the four-lecture series package.
