WRECK OF THE EMPRESS
Oct. 28, 1881
Kennebunkport, Maine

This 121-ton schooner was bound from New 
York City to Titcomb's Wharf on the 
Kennebunk River with 206 tons of hard coal.  
Struggling against poor visibility, she missed
the turn into the river and was dashed up on 
Fox Point.

All hands made it to shore safely, but the hull
heeled over at low tide and within a week broke in 
two.  The remains of the Express were sold to a
wrecking crew for $41, her cargo was auctioned
off, and her sails, shown drying along the shore, 
were salvaged.

WINDS OF FATE

One ship drives east,  another drives west

With the selfsame winds that blow.

'Tis the set of sails and not the gales

Which tells us the way to go.

                    ---Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1850-1919

"The ocean, 
 king of mountains 
and the mighty continents 
 are not heavy burdens to bear 
when compared To the burden 
of not repaying  the 
world's kindness."
