"With a rugged coast and more than four thousand offshore islands, Maine's dark waters attracted sea raiders like Dixie Bull from the 1600s through colonial times. Pirate treasure still awaits discovery in Phippsburg and Machias, and pirate deceit prompted a massacre in ancient Fort Loyall. The infamous Captain Kidd may have prowled the waters off Deer Isle, while farther down the coast a woman and a bloodthirsty band of cutthroats lured ships to disaster at Isles of Shoals."--Supplied by publisher

Shipwrecks Shipwrecks and the rocky coast of Maine are almost synonymous. Thousands of ships, and their crews, have met their end in the icy cold waters of the Maine coast. We have listed hundred of shipwrecks from Kittery to Quoddy Light and tell the stories of many. It is therefore quite natural to expect a book titled "Shipwrecks on the Maine Coast." It is less likely however, to see a title such as "Pirates and Treasure in Maine." It is not usual to associate pirates with Maine - pirates were in the warm Caribbean - not in the foggy, cold waters of Maine - or were they? We have chronicled for you the many pirates, famous and not so famous, that have plied the coast of Maine for centuries. Who were the pirates of Maine? Why were they here? What might they have left behind, and why? Treasure Tales of where the pirates have buried their loot and places where some of it has been found are told in these pages. Has all the treasure been found? Gold, Silver and Jewels were not only buried by pirates but by merchants, farmers and others all over Maine. Why? - Because banks and other institutions were either not available, or not trusted. There's gold in them there streams! Yes, gold and valuable gems can be found in some of Maine's many streams and other locations. You may be surprised how accessible the valuable deposits are. We tell you where you might begin your search and find your own treasure.

With its incessant fogs and infamously craggy coast, Maine has long been a bane of mariners. Scores of vessels and countless lives have been lost on its rocky shores. Taryn Plumb explores the tragic history of shipwrecks in Maine, focusing on a dozen or so of the most interesting and weaving in tales of pirates, lost treasure, violent storms, and other disasters. Maine’s role in shipbuilding is legendary, and the history of vessels meeting their demise here is equally compelling.

Most of their treasures were buried here, closer to their homes, yet little has been uncovered. This book tells about the most notorious pirates who frequented the New England coast, including Kidd and Blackbeard, and describes treasure, thus far found mostly on the outer islands, and where unfound treasures might be uncovered."
