EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the Maine Memorial in Portland, Maine, dedicated to the memory of the 629 men lost at sea during a brutal storm on February 4, 1898. Known as the "Great Gale of 1898," this natural disaster struck the coast of New England, causing widespread devastation and tragedy. The storm's fury is evident in the turbulent waters and towering waves that crash against the rocks in the foreground. The memorial, located on the Eastern Promenade in Portland, was erected in 1901 to honor the lives lost during the storm. The monument's central feature is a bronze figure of a seagull, a symbol of hope and resilience, perched atop a granite pedestal. The names of the deceased are inscribed on the monument's base, a testament to their sacrifice and memory. The photograph, taken around the year of the memorial's completion, provides a glimpse into the past and the somber mood that lingered in the aftermath of the disaster. The image also serves as a reminder of the power and unpredictability of nature, and the importance of remembering those who have been lost to its wrath. The Maine Memorial stands as a tribute to the resilience and strength of the community, and continues to be a popular tourist destination and a source of reflection for visitors to Portland, Maine.
