20179. Freitas, Fred and Dave Ball. WARNINGS IGNORED! The Story of the Portland Gale November, 1898. Self published. 1995. 97p. Soft wraps. With numerous vintage photographs. On November 26 and 27, 1898, a storm of epic proportions struck New England and wreaked havoc all along the coastline, particularly along the South Shore and Cape Cod. For almost 100 years this gale would be the measure against which all subsequent storms would be compared. During this storm the Life-Saving Service, Humane Society and mariners all along the coast would be severely tested as countless vessels would be driven upon the rocks. In this comprehensive work the authors tell not only the story of the ill-fated steamship Portland, but also the story of all of the towns along the coast during the gale, and particularly of the life-saving efforts. Most interesting. (M). $19.95.
