Historic Maine Fishing Shacks Swept Away by Record High Tide

South Portland Historical Society plans to rebuild the iconic structures as storm surge also uncovers 1911 shipwreck.

Three historic fishing shacks in South Portland, Maine, that had stood for over 100 years were washed away by a record high tide during a powerful storm.
The shacks, which had recently been restored, were a beloved local attraction and often served as a backdrop for photographers and painters.
The storm surge also exposed a shipwreck from 1911 on a beach in Maine.
The South Portland Historical Society has plans to build reproductions of the shacks, having prepared architectural drawings and photographs in case of such an event.
The storm surge flooded homes in Orchard Beach and Kennebunkport in Maine, and Hampton Beach in New Hampshire.
