November Index

11/20/1882 - The wreck of the Cedar Grove off Saint Andrew's Island, Nova Scotia. As a result of strict obedience to stupid Naval discipline, the captain, two crew members and a passenger are lost. The ship sinks.

Of late, a noble steamer, the Cedar Grove by name
Across the briny ocean, from London City came.
Whilst steering on one stormy night, too thick to see the land,
By some miscalculation near Canso she did strand.
