Opis

A voyage that has be shrouded in mystery since its inception, the Brig St. John left Galway Harbor on September 5, 1849. It wrecked on Grampus Ledge early on the morning of October 7, 1849. How many people were actually on the ship? Why did Captain Oliver keep two passenger manifests? Did the life savers of Cohasset see Captain Oliver and his crew in their lifeboat? What of the Kathleen? Where are the bodies of the dead of the wreck actually buried? These and many more questions will be asked and hopefully answered in this book through the use of newspapers, diaries, interviews, and emails. Hopefully you will be entertained and learn enough about the wreck of the brig St. John to ask a few questions of your own
