Norman's Woe is a reef in the Atlantic Ocean off of Gloucester, Essex County England. A schooner bound from Maine to England was shipwrecked there in the 1800's. Among the bodies recovered was that of a woman lashed to a piece of the wreckage. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow read the account of the wreck, and from it constructed his poem 'The wreck of the Hesperus'.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
