☆ ‘Oh No, They’re Both Gone’: Beloved Maine Fishing Shacks Tumble Into Bay
  + stars: | 2024-01-15 | by ( Christine Hauser | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
The fishing shacks that once perched on the rocks at Willard Beach in South Portland were part of a childhood that Maureen Connolly described on Monday as “quintessential Maine.”The shacks, with lobster buoys hanging from their walls, had served as a backdrop for photographers and painters inspired by the rocky coastline, with its sailboats drifting by and dinghies bobbing in the water. The shacks, which were at least 150 years old, are no more. On Saturday, the last of them were swept into Casco Bay by surges of wind and water from a powerful East Coast storm. Ms. Connolly and others with a connection to South Portland learned of their destruction in a widely shared video of them tumbling into the water.

MEREDITH, N.H. (AP) — A record high tide in Maine washed away three historic fishing shacks that had stood since the 1800s and formed the backdrop of countless photographs. “It's truly a sad day for the community and the residents of South Portland,” Erskine said in an interview with The Associated Press on Sunday. A record 14.57-foot (4.4-meter) high tide was measured in Portland, Maine, just after noon on Saturday, after a storm surge amplified what was already the month's highest tide, said National Weather Service meteorologist Michael Cempa. Cempa said the tide gauge measures the difference between the high tide and the average low tide. “Very sadly, all three fishing shacks at Willard Beach have been completely destroyed,” the city wrote on its Facebook page.
