Today’s Weather Trivia:
10 December 1864: The steamer George Moffatt bound for Toronto, ON, with a cargo of salt encountered a storm off Port Darlington. The windstorm broke her smokestack, causing a loss of steam. She was driven ashore stern-first fast between 2 rocks. Inhabitants lined the beach to help. All made it ashore and were cared for by locals. Attempts to re-float the steamer were unsuccessful. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
