Our first stop on our tour of Kennebunkport was here at Cape Porpoise. Across the harbor is the Cape Porposie lighthouse on Goat Island. A bronze marker on the shore says that it was here on August 8, 1782 that the citizens of Kennebunkport withstood an attack by a British 18 gun warship, killing 17 and driving them from their shores. It says that the Americans suffered only one fatality; Lt. James BURNHAM, a resident of Kennebunkport.
Could this be a relative?
