A luxury German ocean liner appears off the coast of Maine
In August, 1914, the luxury German ocean liner, Kronprinzessin Cecilie was bound from New York to Germany when World War I broke out. Rather than risk the liner's capture by British or French navies, the captain turned around, hoping to find safe harbor in the United States. Three days later, under cover of fog and darkness and running from British cruisers, he brought the ship and her more than 1200 passengers to port in the small, peaceful resort town of Bar Harbor, Maine.
What followed was a magical three months as the town grew to love the ship and its crew. First published in 1979, and based on actual events, The Magic Ship is filled with memorable characters, flourishing romances, and revealing glimpses of the heady days of Bar Harbor's fabulous summer "cottage" life.
REVIEW:from Maine Life: "Probably no better fictional account of Bar Harbor's high society exists."
