In 2002 underwater explorers found the
wreck of which ship off the Massachusetts
coast that wrecked in 1898 killing almost
200 people ?

The steamship Portland. 192 died when the boat sank in 100 mph winds and 60 foot seas.

Yes indeedily.

Thanks for the answer Teeceeum !

"The Portland, known as the "Titanic of New England," was dashed to pieces off the Massachusetts coast Nov. 26, 1898, after it sailed from Boston, ignoring forecasts of an impending storm.

"The 291-foot Portland left Boston’s India Wharf for Portland, Maine, as scheduled, ignoring forecasts of an impending storm and the decision by the captain of a sister ship to stay in port.
"Captain Hollis Blanchard may have believed the Portland could outrun the gale, but the storm was actually two separate storms that collided at sea and grew exponentially in force as they fed off each other’s energy. Winds reached 100 mph, and waves crested at 60 feet." - Portsmouth Herald

Dor...thanks for the great additional info.
I had read up quite a bit on it when I found
the article in the newspaper.
