June 2017 MAINE COASTAL NEWS Page 23. HISTORY FROM THE PAST - Hancock Gazette - 1827 18 April Bangor, April 11. By our shipping list


it will be seen that upwards of thirty sail of vessels have arrived here since our last, all after lumber. Many of them must, of neces- sity, wait some time for cargoes, there being very few boards in the market; and till the freshet falls, which is now so high as to oc- casion back water at most of the mills, there will be but few made. From the information we have received, we are induced to believe there will not be any surplus in the supply of boards, this season. A great portion of the last year’s logs have been carried off by the freshet, and scattered or lost. And the logs cut last winter are not equal in quantity to those of the preceding winter.

He thinks she was a schooner belonging to Saco, loaded with fl our, with a crew of four men, and three passengers, who it is feared must have perished, as no boat could possi- bly live in so tremendous a sea.
