Dear fellow Hanoverians:
On Tuesday March 7 at 7:00 p.m., historian Art Milmore will present a talk
and slide show dealing with the tragic loss of the steamer Portland in the
Thanksgiving gale of 1898. Frequently called New England’s
“Titanic”, the Portland sank twenty miles outside of Massachusetts Bay
killing all 192 people on board. The wreck was not discovered until 1989
and was conclusively proven to be the Portland in 2002. Mr. Milmore has
written a book, “And the Sea Shall Have Them All”, which will be available
for purchase and signing.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the John Curtis Library. There
is no charge for admission. Refreshments will be served. The library is
located on Route 139 in Hanover Center. For more information, please
contact Lorraine Welsh at lwelsh@hanover-ma.gov .
