About This Item

Sooke, B.C.: R.E. Wells. Fair. 1989. First Edition. Unknown Binding. 0969307349 . "The loss of the British barque JANET COWAN and the seven men who perished in the aftermath, was one of the principal shipwreck incidents on the southwest coast of Vancouver Island along that part of the shore known today as the West Coast Trail. It resulted in the recommendations for the construction of the shipwrecked mariner's trail that eventually became a reality. This is the story of that tragic event of 1896 followed by an account of a recent interesting and nostalgic visit to the site by a son of one of the crew of the ill-fated ship. Many items from this, the largest sailing ship to meet disaster along the West Coast Trail, can be seen today among the rocks and crevaces. This account shows the reader were to observe these artifacts." - back cover. 68 page stapled booklet. Map. Many black and white reproductions of archival photos. Former library copy with usual markings. A sound reference copy of this fascinating history.; 12mo .
