Camp Casa Mare

Texas · USA · Manor

A mansion on the Texas shore, now a Girl Scout camp. The daughter of the house watched the sea from her balcony for a man who did not come back.

Camp Casa Mare at Seabrook, Texas is a Girl Scout camp on the shore. Before that it was a privately owned mansion.

A young woman lived there with her father. She had lost a lover to the sea and was said to be badly affected by it. Every night she watched for his ship from the balcony of the house.

She went over it.

The mansion was demolished long ago and a mess hall was built where it stood, which is where the accounts now come from. Girls at camp have been passing the story between themselves for decades.

A camp is close to ideal conditions for a legend to survive: a fixed site, a new intake every summer, and older girls with a reason to tell it after dark.
