“Looking for a meeting place large enough to accommodate the whole Goose Rocks family at the same time led to one of the strangest stories of 1951, for that was the year the Romanascho Hall went to sea. The Goose Rocks Beach Association, formed in 1946, found a building that was just about right, over at Kennebunk Beach. This was a good ten miles away, as the cars go, and the road is hilly and winding and narrow. But the nearby Atlantic was broad and smooth, most of the time, and flat, at least by comparison. Furthermore, there were no overhead wires to interfere and no bridges to cross. Thus, a difficult undertaking, met with imagination, soon found the building afloat and on its way to a new foundation. Newsreel cameras and microphones followed its progress, and columns were written by reporters who had seldom been out on a story like this.”
