garhallevents@scituatehistoricalsociety.org The story of the tragic loss of the palatial side-wheel steamer Portland in the horrific gale that occurred on November 26 and 27th, 1898. The ship sank with all hands, was witnessed by no one and disappeared without a trace. The wreck would not be found until 91 years later. It would remain New England’s greatest maritime mystery. The book solves two 100-year-old mysteries.
