The Schooner Tidal Wave Battles a Maine Storm
The schooner Tidal Wave of Bangor under Captain Nathaniel F. Pendleton carrying 42 000 feet of spruce boards consigned to John P. Squire Co left Boothbay and faced a midnight gale off Thatcher's Island Light. A large wave tore lumber from the deck, the main boom broke, the helm failed, and a leak forced pumps to work continuously. The crew kept the ship afloat, repaired the torn mainsail, and steered toward Salem as Pendleton narrowly escaped injury.
