At 10:30 in the morning on March 9, 1921, the ship, The Wanby hit the rocks off Walker s Point in Kennebunkport. The groan of the 3991-ton British ship being dragged across the rocks could be heard from Kennebunkport all the to Cape Porpoise, three miles away! Schools from around the area closed for the day so kids could watch the Coast Guard try and salvage the ship, to no avail.
Kennebunk Historical Society
Luckily, no one was hurt in the shipwreck. In fact, things ended up pretty good for the crew. The Kennebunkport Historical Society wrote on their Facebook Page this week: Captain David Simpson ordered his crew ashore. The sailors bunked with hospitable local families who filled every minute of their stay with dances in their honor, clam digs, day trips to Portland, etc. Four cases of real Scotch whiskey salvaged from the Wandby were consumed during the interim. Tears of friendship were shed all around when the crew was sent back to England three weeks later.
