The Cobequid in Ice (1914)
On the 16th of January, the Townsville Daily Bulletin announced the lack of definitive news about the fate of the Cobequid: “A search for the liner Cobequid disclosed nothing definite. A crew of 102 are aboard, together with 15 second-class passengers. The fate of the vessel is unknown, but the hurricane raging makes it extremely improbable she will escape. Cape Sable heard a wireless call announcing that the vessel had struck the ledge off Briar Island, and her engine room was flooded. Thereafter, there was silence. The Kronz Prinz Essin and Celie were warned of the Cobequid’s plight.”
