Today's Weather Trivia:
24 April1893: Shortly after leaving Lunenburg, NS, a steamer encountered a
heavy gale and thick fog. The ship struck Big Duck Island at full speed and
started breaking up. The accident had washed away all lifeboats.
Fortunately, there was a large dory in the freight on the upper deck.
Ship-wrecked passengers and crew climbed aboard and rowed for Lunenburg,
where they landed 6 hours later. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather
Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
