SHIPWRECKS OF NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR, VOLUME V
By FRANK GALGAY and MICHAEL MCCARTHY
Volume V is the most recent addition to the series of Shipwrecks of Newfoundland and Labrador by Frank Galgay and Mike McCarthy. The book consists of 20 shipwrecks stories from various Newfoundland and Labrador locations. The book contains a number of appendices that list about 200 annotated shipwrecks as well as the names of some of the victims of these shipwreck tragedies. The location of the wrecks range from Curlew Harbour on the Labrador to Dildo Run, the Straight Shore, Trinity Bay and Fortune Bay. One of the stories tells about the S.S. Meigle, which once served as a prison ship in St. John's Harbour. Another tells the story of personal heroism and of terrible tragedies that claimed many lives. Like the other four volumes in the series, Volume V hopes to help preserve a part of the marine history of Newfoundland. |
