Today’s Weather Trivia:

23 September 1935:1935: A ship capsized in a raging nor'easter along the west coast of Cape Breton Island, NS. Five seamen perished and 6 more crew members were washed ashore, near death after battling for life all night. Mountainous waves made it impossible to keep the bodies of the dead men in the boat. One man floated in alone to be found unconscious on the beach and barely alive.   – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
