Canada, As I See It

#82 - SS Noronic


Listen Later

Another week, another fire.

 

Thirty-seven years after the Titanic struck an iceberg and sunk in the North-Atlantic ocean, Toronto experienced it's own, deadly, preventable tragedy.

 

This week, I take a look at Canada's Worst Marine Disaster – the SS Noronic.
