May 29, 1914: the worst shipwreck tragedy in Canadian waters......just over 92 years ago now.
Here's a link to a good history page on the ship, including a recent picture of her at the bottom of the St. Lawrence river.

ps: the sinking is also a sad chapter in the Canadian history of The Salvation Army organisation.
