Description
The southwest coast of Vancouver Island is a reef-studded stretch notorious for dramatic winter storms and thick cloaks of summer fog. Many ships have found themselves well off-course and even lost during sudden storms. This book tells the stories of the sailors, lighthouse keepers and linemen who have weathered these west-coast storms.Tags
