Today's weather trivia: 13 January
1900: A steamer with a crew and passenger list of 70 wrecked in St. Mary¿s
Bay, NL, during a fierce storm with intense cold. The ship ran ashore,
striking the foot of the cliff. It caught fire, fed by kerosene in the
cargo. The crew launched lifeboats, but during the panic, some were crushed
against her sides¿all occupants perished. The lone survivor tied himself to
the rigging but died of exposure.
