SPECIAL EDITION: On Christmas Eve in 1886, the Annie C. Maguire ran aground on the rocky shoreline of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, just below the iconic Portland Head Light. If you\u2019ve visited the famous beacon, you\u2019ve likely seen for yourself the simple but ever present tribute on those very rocks that\u2019s been painted and repainted for over a century, the original letters inscribed there by the son of the lighthouse keeper whose family helped rescue the ship\u2019s passengers and crew. The waters of Casco Bay and Maine\u2019s coast are drenched with tales of shipwrecks and tragedy and lives lost at sea, but among all the true stories and the legends that endure, the story of the Annie C. Maguire is among the most intriguing. Was the Christmas Eve shipwreck at Portland Head Light an accident? Or was it a crime?
