TL;DR

A powerful winter storm in Maine washed away three historic fishing shacks that had stood since the 1800s, just days after a shipwreck from 1911 was exposed on a beach. The shacks, which had recently undergone a facelift, were owned by the city of South Portland and were a significant part of the community's history.
