May 28,1872: The New York Times published details of a series of catastrophes that struck the sealing fleet on the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. It reported that over 40 vessels, including 4 steamships, were dashed to pieces amid huge icebergs during a terrific hurricane and 4,000 seal hunters had died. Later reports had the crews from 12 downed vessels all saved, except for 60 men. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
