Today’s Weather Trivia:
16 July 1922: A steam schooner sank in the Strait of Juan de Fuca off the BC coast after crashing into a freighter in a dense fog. The site of the accident was difficult to reach. The freighter, only slightly damaged, picked up 2 life boats and then cruised around under the pall of fog, aggravated by smoke from nearby forest fires. There was no trace of 4 missing crew members who were soon given up for lost. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
