“That’s a dangerous coastline, too . . .
around Catalina . . . we don’t want to venture too close to the shore in this
wind.”
On the night of December 6, 1926, during
a blinding snowstorm, a schooner out of Port Nelson, Bonavista Bay,
Newfoundland, ran into the rugged cliffs just north of Little Catalina. Of the
nine crew members, seven men and one woman perished, while one man, the
captain’s son, astonishingly survived. This is the amazing true story of the
Ella M. Rudolph and her crew.
