Episode 36 - Halloween!!!

Beyond the Breakers

play

10/31/21 • 49 min

In honor of Halloween, we get spooky this week.
Taylor tells stories of the Black Dog of Lake Erie. Is it out for revenge on the uncaring sailors who allowed it to drown in the Welland Canal?
And Tanner relates the tales of ghostly happenings around the 1873 sinking of the steamer Ironsides in Lake Michigan, and Connecticut's steamship Atlantic disaster from 1846.
Does the spirit of young Henry Valentine still cry for help from passing mariners in Lake Michigan? Does the bell of the Atlantic still toll out in mourning for the lives she lost?

In this week's episode, we discuss the 1914 sinking of the Empress of Ireland, Canada's deadliest peacetime disaster at sea.
**Note**
Several times during the episode, we mistakenly refer to the captain of the Empress of Ireland as "Captain Kembell." The captain of the vessel was in fact Henry George Kendall. We apologize for the error.

Hello Everyone! From time to time we will be doing mini-episodes when we haven an announcement or other news about the pod. We wanted to let you know we will be shifting our release schedule slightly. We will probably be releasing on Patreon on Sundays, and Monday for everyone else.
Additionally I wanted to do a short story that may not have enough information for a full episode, but is still something worth sharing. We hope you enjoy!
