Strange Truths and Tall Tales: Product of Newfoundland

Part One: Mildred Baxter Legend has it that folk-hero Mildred Baxter came to Harbour Breton in the mid-1840s to settle a score with her cheating fiance. In order to make the trip from her home in England, she adopted a secret identity. She disguised herself as a man and took up life in Harbour Breton alongside her fiance and his new bride. It's a fascinating tale of love, lies and revenge that stretches the limits of credibility. Read: ⁠The Love and Lies of Mildred Baxter and Paul Langstone⁠ Part Two: Rosemary Lawton Talks Jackets and Trousers Rosemary Lawton is an award-winning singer-songwriter with a keen interest in Newfoundland music. She is a classically trained violinist, educator and writer. She has recorded traditional Newfoundland music (Fierce and Untamed), original compositions (Canvas) and published the book, Resilience: A Collection of Empowering Songs of Newfoundland and Labrador Women. Rosemary joins me on Strange Truths and Tall Tales to discuss Mildred Taylor, the tradition of ‘Jacket and Trouser' songs, and her own songwriting.

As if hurricanes aren't scary enough, they can generate something that sounds just as scary: stormquakes. As a hurricane rumbles across the ocean surface, it can cause the ocean floor to rumble as well. Fortunately, the quakes don't cause any damage.Scientists discovered stormquakes by studying seismic activity recorded during many hurricanes. The records revealed that sometimes, the ocean floor “jiggled” as a hurricane passed overhead. The jiggles could be as strong as a magnitude 3.5 earthquake. Some continued for days, and were felt up to thousands of miles away.A stormquake rumbles to life as a hurricane churns up big waves on the ocean surface. That creates big waves below the surface. They can ripple all the way to the bottom. And that can create waves in the ground. But it takes the right ocean contours to make the bottom rumble. The stormquakes found so far all took place in regions with a shallow continental shelf with a gentle slope. The ground was fairly flat and smooth.So most of the stormquakes identified so far have been limited to a few areas. They're common off the coast of New England and the Atlantic provinces of Canada, in areas like the Georges Bank and the Grand Banks. They've also been recorded off the coast of Florida.The seismic waves created by stormquakes aren't a threat to life and limb. But they can help scientists probe conditions below the ocean floor—the rumble of hurricanes pushing deep into the solid Earth.

Velkommen til en ny episode av HoyCast! I dag tar vi deg med på en spennende reise inn i trawlerverdenen, en helt spesiell type motorbåt som er skapt for langdistanse cruising og ofte for å leve om bord i lengre perioder. Vi dykker inn i historien og utviklingen av trawlere, som kan spores tilbake til de robuste fiskebåtene fra 1700-tallet, kjent som 'dogger', som seilte i Nordsjøen. Trawlers har utviklet seg betydelig siden den gang, og i dag tilbyr de alle bekvemmelighetene du kan forvente hjemmefra, og noen ganger enda mer luksus. Fra anerkjente produsenter som Fleming, Nordhavn, Grand Banks, Selene Yachts, og Beneteau Grand/Swift, er trawler-yachter en klasse for seg selv når det gjelder langdistanse cruising. I denne episoden vil vi utforske trawlerens unike egenskaper, historie og hvordan de har blitt synonyme med luksuriøse cruiseopplevelser. Enten du er en erfaren trawlerentusiast eller nysgjerrig på å lære mer, vil denne videoen gi deg innsikt i en spennende båtverden du kanskje ikke har utforsket før. Bli med oss mens vi tar en dypdykk i trawlerverdenen og avdekker hva som gjør disse båtene til favoritter blant eventyrlystne båtentusiaster. Abonner på kanalen vår, lik denne videoen og del den med dine medbåtentusiaster! Vi setter pris på din støtte, og vi gleder oss til å ta deg med på denne spennende reisen.

In The Liberty to Take Fish: Atlantic Fisheries and Federal Power in Nineteenth-Century America (Cornell University Press, 2023), Dr. Thomas Blake Earle offers an incisive and nuanced history of the long American Revolution, describing how aspirations to political freedom coupled with the economic imperatives of commercial fishing roiled relations between the young United States and powerful Great Britain. The American Revolution left the United States with the "liberty to take fish" from the waters of the North Atlantic. Indispensable to the economic health of the new nation, the cod fisheries of the Grand Banks, the Bay of Fundy, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence quickly became symbols of American independence in an Atlantic world dominated by Great Britain. The fisheries issue was a near-constant concern in American statecraft that impinged upon everything, from Anglo-American relations, to the operation of American federalism, and even to the nature of the marine environment. Dr. Earle explores the relationship between the fisheries and the state through the Civil War era when closer ties between the United States and Great Britain finally surpassed the contentious interests of the fishing industry on the nation's agenda.  The Liberty to Take Fish is a rich story that moves from the staterooms of Washington and London to the decks of fishing schooners and into the Atlantic itself to understand how ordinary fishermen and the fish they pursued shaped and were, in turn, shaped by those far-off political and economic forces. Earle returns fishing to its once-central place in American history and shows that the nation of the nineteenth century was indeed a maritime one. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

A ghost story is usually a solitary thing. It lives by itself and doesn't go out much and by its nature, is solitary and lonesome. A ghost story is the hermit of tales because, so often, a spirit is only experienced by a single person, whether it be a chill in the air, a fleeting image in the darkness, a shadow in the window on the top floor as you casually glance upward. Most people don't see spirits in pairs or groups. They seem them when they're all alone. It makes you wonder, if you're an imbiber of such stories, if most of them might simply be creations of the mind, unintended tulpas of the imagination. They're a part of the human experience. Ghost stories are as old as we are and stretch back into our prehistory, into the times before we could record them for future generations. Ghosts are part of that collective memory we all share. Their stories continue to be told because, I believe, we need them. Strangely, they frighten us but they also bring us hope? We'll see about that. But what can we make of the other stories, the ones where multiple people claim to have seen or experienced' that which cannot be easily explained and therefore fall into the inescapable realm of confused possibility? If one person sees a ghost, much like a single witness of a UFO, we can easily dismiss their story as idyll fancy. It's your word against theirs. But if many people claim to have seen a strange and inexplicable sight such as a ghost, well, that's something completely different. That's a little more difficult to refute. This is the story of such a sighting, though the names of the witnesses are mostly lost to history. We have a captain's name and the name of two ships. The sighting has devolved into a legend, but when it was first reported in the 1860s, just after the American Civil War, it was regarded as the truth at a time when people were less skeptical and more ready to believe in things they could not prove. As for its actual veracity, I'll let you be the judge. The Charles Haskell was a fishing schooner built in Boston. A two-masted ship, fast and efficient, she was built for cod fishing in the Atlantic, where ships like her went for extended periods, for weeks or even months at a time. Typically, the cod was salted right on board before returning to shore. In the case of the Charles Haskell, she was headed for Georges' Bank, there to reap the rich harvest. By all accounts, she was a sleek vessel, well-made for carving through the waves and making her way. The problem with the Haskell was that….no one wanted to sail on her. Before her maiden voyage, a workman on the ship slipped on the deck and broke his neck, killing him on the spot. Sailors have long been superstitious and they have tales among themselves that prove their belief. There was no whistling aboard ship - it summons the wind down or provokes storms. Women on board were forbidden - they distract the crew and anger the sea gods themselves. Never depart on a Friday, for that was the day the Lord was crucified. A red sky in the morning was a bad omen, spelling out inclement weather. It is not hard to imagine why a sailor might not want to serve on a brand new ship that had been christened by the death of a man. Her owners couldn't even find a captain - but as must happen in every good story, a captain was eventually found, a man named Curtis and was a Gloucester man and he found a crew alright, mostly fellow Gloucester men like himself. New England fishermen typically fish for cod during the spring or summer months with the prime season being from late April or early May through September. The Charles Haskell didn't wait for spring. Like many, she had to venture to much deeper offshore waters as the cod migrated away from shore seeking their food. Winter fishing was challenging and dangerous and required only the sturdiest of vessels using long-lining and nets to catch the cod in the dark depths below. Captain Curtis and the crew of the Haskell made their maiden voyage in February of 1866, off to Georges Bank to join the others whose occupation was to go after cod. Anyone who has sailed the turbulent Atlantic waters off New England will tell you how capricious the weather can be, how quickly it can rise to a tempest without any real warning. Between 1830 and 1892, nearly 600 ships and more than 3,000 lives were lost in the waters of the Grand Banks, of which Georges Banks is a part. Shallower than the rest of the Grand Banks, Georges Bank covers nearly 10,000 miles southeast of Cape Cod. These waters were among the richest and most important fishing areas in the world and there were many ships fishing in the same area, often with captains and crew who knew each other well. It was March 7, 1866 and the Haskell was at anchor, her crew going about their daily routine, when Captain Curtis noticed the darkness on the horizon, felt the change in the air, and knew in his bones that they were facing a sudden, imminent change in the weather. He'd seen it many times before and he knew he had only minutes before they would find themselves in the midst of hurricane winds. He could see other vessels out there and he understood that in a storm, two vessels can easily collide with little capacity to control their courses. Curtis prepared to ride out the storm as best he could, keeping his eye on the other ships. As the wind picked up and began to howl, the crew understood that they were in grave danger. They were facing gale force winds and the sea was roiling with wave after wave covering the decks. All they could do was ride out the storm and try…try and pray while trying…to ride a safe course through it. And then, as the sky grew dark and waves thrashed, Captain Curtis saw another schooner, the Andrew Jackson out of Salem, coming his way. He knew the captain, he knew some of the crew. His own life and the lives of his crew were in peril as the bow of the Andrew Jackson rushed quickly toward the Charles Haskell. He ordered the anchor cut so they could escape a collision, but it was that very act that caused the tragedy. Steering away from the ship with all of his strength and skill, Captain Curtis couldn't avoid the Jackson as it crossed his path, slamming into his ship in the midst of the screaming wind. The crew of the Charles Haskell held on for dear life, trying to assess their situation. As they waited for word, they watched the Andrew Jackson quickly slip beneath the waves, taking her crew to a watery grave. All hands were lost. The Haskell was damaged and limped back to port when the storm abated, making for St. Johns, Newfoundland. Such was the fate of the Andrew Jackson and her crew. Those who go down to the sea in ships do not always have divine intervention to save them. Some cry for help and do not receive it. The Charles Haskell's crew made it home. They got to see their families again. Their lives went on from day to day and the following year, her damages fixed, the Charles Haskell set out again for the Georges Bank. That's when something inexplicable happened, something beyond any understanding. The sky was clear and a full moon shone when, six days out of port, the men of the night watch on the Charles Haskell looked out upon the waters and noticed something strange, something that made no sense at all to them. As they regarded the waves lapping up on the sides of their ship, they sawsome things in the water, bobbing up and down. Soon, the men stood in pure fear as the Charles Haskell was surrounded by them and they understood what they were seeing in the moonlight: human heads bobbing up and down with the waves. And then, to their amazement, the heads turned into men in oilskins and they slowly climbed up the side of the Charles Haskell, lifting themselves up the railings and onto the deck of the ship. Speechless, nearly unable to breathe through fear, the men of the night watch stared in wide-eyed fear at the watery forms. They were as silent as the tomb. They had no eyes - only empty sockets. The night watch called Captain Curtis and they watched the ghostly crew. Each spectral figure took a station and went through the motions of baiting the lines and sinking them into water, for all intents and purposes fishing for cod under the cold light of the full moon. They worked the lines all night long until the approach of the morning light when, in a strange rewinding fashion, they slipped over the sides of the Charles Haskell and back into the sea, falling below the waves, returning to the depths. The men of the night watch spread the word to the nervous crew. This was a portent, a warning. This was a sign from beyond. All that day the crew whispered among themselves and the captain knew his fishing season was going to be cut short. He called them together and told them that the rumor they had heard from the night watchmen was just that. Nothing unusual had happened. The men were imagining it. He was there and saw nothing. He told them to get back about their business. There was fishing to do and they were Gloucestermen, after all. But no man on the Charles Haskell slept that night. They waited for the light of the full moon to bathe the waters in its ivory glow and sure enough, the ghostly crew emerged from the waves, arose and climbed onto the Haskell once more. The entire crew watched in abject terror as the phantoms went about their work as they had done the night before. One of the crew counted them - twenty-six. Twenty-six was the number of men who perished aboard the Andrew Jackson out of Salem when she collided with the Haskell the prior year. Was this the crew of the Andrew Jackson returning to the Haskell to give some sort of warning? Then, as the cold light of day began to approach, the ghostly crew slipped back over the side but this time, this time they didn't sink below the cold and unforgiving waves. They walked on the water in single file in the direction of their home port of Salem, Massachusetts, disappeared as the light of the morning sun erased them from the world. The captain of the Charles Haskell knew it was over. There was no way this crew could maintain their focus and finish the fishing season. He hauled anchor and set sail for St. John's, Newfoundland. Anchored there at the dock, the Charles Haskell remained for a long, long time. The captain and crew took passage home on another ship and no one, not a single person, would go aboard the cursed ship, though she was sea-worthy and ready to sail. Her owners wrote her off and would not spend another nickel to retrieve her. They knew well, as did Captain Curtis, that the Charles Haskell was now a “hoodoo' ship, doomed from its very beginning to its inglorious end. But there was one more voyage the Charles Haskell would make. Taking up valuable space at the dock in St. Johns, the ship was abandoned and considered salvage, but none wanted her. The harbor master eventually ordered that she be towed to the deep waters and set aflame to make room for other ships at the dock. She was towed out to deep water and those few who were there set her on fire to burn her down to the waterline and then, to sink her beneath the sea, erasing her from the minds of men forever. But when the sailors who were sent to sink her came home, word spread among the mariners that they saw something they could not explain. As the ship began to burn, it appeared to the tenders that forms could be seen on the deck, forms of men walking amidst the flames, going about the business of baiting and sinking lines. A trick of the light? A trick of the brain? Perhaps. They all knew the story of the crew of the Andrew Jackson and maybe they just told the tale to keep the children awake at night, for the sheer telling of the tale, but a good many of these men believed it, too. The spectral crew moved among the fire and as the Charles Haskell burned, she moved away on some unfelt breeze. As the sun began to set, the tenders of the ship witnessed the last sighting of the Haskell against the orange-red of the horizon, manned by ghosts steering toward some unknown destination. You can find a ghost story in almost every corner of the world, in any city or little town. They travel with us, never far away. You might ask yourself: did this really happen? Was there actually a ship called the “Charles Haskell” from Boston? The tale of the Charles Haskell and the phantom crew of the Andrew Jackson is a maritime legend. There's even a famous folk song called “The Ghostly Sailors” that was written about it and sung, no doubt, aboard many a ship under the light of a full and ivory moon. The crew of the Johnson carrying out their eternal task of fishing for cod that sent them to their doom is a story-  let's leave it at that. After enough time passes and everyone who saw the ghosts are possibly ghosts themselves, there's no point in trying to prove anything, especially a ghost story. Anyway, it is my belief that you don't prove that ghosts are real. You wonder.  Like all stories, it's just real enough and like all legends, has its basis in truth. Do you believe in ghosts? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone… The Ghostly Sailors You may smile if you want to, But perhaps you'll lend an ear, For boys and girls together, Well on for fifty years, I've sailed in fishing vessels, In summer's pleasant gales, And all through stormy winters, Where the howling winds did rage. I've been tossed about on Georgia Shoals, Been fishing in the Bay, Down south in early seasons, Most anywhere would pay, I've been [in different vessels], On the Western Banks and Grand, I've been in herring vessels That went to Newfoundland. There I saw storms, I tell you, And things looked rather blue, But somehow I was lucky, And quickly I got through, I will not brag, however, I will not say so much, I have not been easily frightened, Like most of other men. Last night as we were sailing, We were sailing off the shore, I never will forget it, In all my mortal days, It was in the grand dog watches, I felt a thrilling dread, Came over me as I hear, One calling from the dead. Right over our rail there clambered, All silent, one by one, A dozen dripping sailors, Just wait till I am done, Their face were pale and sea worn, Shone through the ghostly night, Each fellow took his station, As if he had a right. They moved around about us, ‘Till land was most in sight, Or rather I should say so, The lighthouse shone its light, And then those ghostly sailors, Moved to the rail again, And vanished in an instant, Before the sons of men. We sailed right in the harbour, And every mother's son, Will tell the same sad story, The same as I have done, The trip before the other, We were off Georgia then, We ran down another vessel, And sank her and her men. These were the same poor fellows, I hope God rests their souls, That our old craft ran over, And sank on Georgia Shoals, So now you have my story, It is just as I say, I did not believe in spirits, Until this very day.

The Grand Banks is a continental shelf off the coast of Newfoundland that has centuries of abundant fishing in its history. The cold Labrador current mixes with the warm water of the Gulf Stream. The water depth varies between 50 feet and 300 feet, very shallow considering the distance from shore. The mixing of these two ocean currents and the shape of the bottom lifts nutrients to the surface. The result was one of the most fertile fish habitats in the world. There was cod, swordfish, haddock, lobster, I grew up on the east coast of Canada and while I'm not into fishing, nor is anyone in my family, the port was only a few blocks from my house and we would go down to the port to look at the boats on a regular basis. We regularly saw ships from Portugal, Japan, and Norway to name just a few. The local politics were often dominated by debate over fishing quotas. The argument was that it was unfair for Canadian vessels to be subject to quotas while ships in international waters could fish as much as they wanted. Eventually that debate was put to rest when the entire ecosystem collapsed and there were no more fish. There was an outright ban on fishing and now nearly 30 years later, the fish population is still a fraction of the population in the 1990's. Last month we had an entire week dedicated to the question of food security. On today's show we are going to look at one of the richest ocean ecosystems on the planet. The Galápagos Islands sit virtually on the equator and have been a territory of Ecuador since 1837. Despite being on the equator, the cold water Humboldt current brings nutrients for the Antarctic region up the coast of South America. Combatting illegal fishing is a problem in the Galapagos as well. In 2020 during the height of the pandemic, there were over 340 Chinese fishing vessels fishing in the region of the Galápagos Islands. Those 340 vessels logged more than 73,000 hours fishing in those waters. The protected waters of the Galapagos are home to more than 20,000 species of wildlife. Ships crossing the Pacific from China are not little rowboats with a single fishing rod. No these industrial ships are designed to harvest the ocean indiscriminately on a large scale. The first warning signs of rapidly declining fish stocks in the Grand Banks of Newfoundland happened only about three years before the complete collapse of the fishery. -------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

Listen online at http://www.chmr.ca/​​.Derek Yetman is a former journalist and editor, and the author of four previous books, including Midshipman Squibb and The Beothuk Expedition (Breakwater Books). His historical novels of Newfoundland have an authenticity that comes from his many years as a sailing skipper and student of Newfoundland history. He has served as a naval reservist, officer of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, secretary to the Crow's Nest Officers' Club, and communications manager for Canada's national ship and ocean technology research centre. His debut novel won first prize in the Atlantic Provinces Writing Competition and later books have won widespread praise for their depiction of life and events from the island's colourful past. He lives and works in St. John's and Chance Cove, Trinity Bay.   A story of adventure, betrayal, and resilience in Newfoundland set against the backdrop of the historical events of the American War of Independence. Loyalty and betrayal meet in Newfoundland during the tumultuous War of American Independence. Jonah Squibb returns to the Royal Navy to defend his beloved island from Yankee raids and predation. The task is a welcome respite from grief at the death of his wife and the estrangement of his son. The future holds other heartaches, however, as the war at sea intensifies and he is called upon to achieve a great deal with very little. Victory and defeat are never more than a hair's breadth apart as he is pushed to the limit of his skills and endurance. The novel is a sweeping drama of battles on the Grand Banks and romance and intrigue in St. John's harbour.This program, and others like it, are helped by support from viewers and fans on Patreon.

"Lebih baik teguran yang nyata-nyata dari pada kasih yang tersembunyi." (Amsal 27:5) Renungan: Suatu kali Ny. Albert Caldwel bertanya kepada salah seorang awak kapal Titanic, "Benarkah kapal ini tidak bisa tenggelam?" Jawab awak kapal tersebut, "Benar, Nyonya. Bahkan Tuhan sendiri tak mungkin menenggelamkan kapal ini." Dua hari kemudian, kapal tersebut memasuki kawasan Grand Banks, sebuah kawasan berbahaya karena banyak gunung es bawah laut. Pada 14 April 1912, dua puluh menit sebelum pukul 24.00 malam, kapal pesiar mewah, Titanic, menyerempet gunung es dan akhirnya tenggelam 3 jam kemudian. Seringkali kita jumpai, kesombongan membuat sebagian orang sulit untuk menerima teguran. Mengapa teguran dan peringatan selalu dipikirkan sebagai kelemahan atau aib? Padahal Amsal 27:5 berkata, "Lebih baik teguran yang nyata-nyata dari pada kasih yang tersembunyi." Bagaimana tanggapan yang benar menghadapi sebuah teguran? Raja Daud dalam Mazmur 119:14 menganggap peringatan Tuhan sama bahagianya dengan menerima harta benda. Seseorang akan bisa bertumbuh melalui masukan, teguran bahkan peringatan dari orang lain. Apakah kita pernah mengalami teguran? Terkadang teguran itu menyakitkan, tetapi kalau kita mau lihat dari kacamata Tuhan, dibalik teguran itu ada kebaikan dan perubahan untuk hari yang akan datang. Jika hari ini kita mengalami teguran yang tidak disangka-sangka, tetaplah tenang dan berusahalah menemukan apa rencana Tuhan dibalik teguran itu. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa: Tuhan Yesus, berilah rahmat kerendahan hati dalam diriku, sehingga ketika aku mengalami teguran atau nasihat yang tidak pernah kubayangkan, yang membuat aku kecewa dan sakit hati, aku tetap bisa menerimanya dengan lapang dada. Aku percaya, dibalik teguran itu Tuhan mau mengubah sikap, cara pandang, cara hidup dan kepribadianku untuk menjadi lebih baik lagi. Amin. (Dod).

When the cod disappeared from the Grand Banks of his Newfoundland home, fisherman Bren Smith saw the light. He realised that we need a new relationship with the oceans- the age of the hunter-gatherers was over and the time of the ocean farmers had begun. After many years of trial and error he developed a new farming system that produces thousands of tonnes of shellfish and edible seaweed, cleans the oceans and absorbs our carbon emissions. Tom Heap meets Bren and takes a trip to the seaweed farm of the Scottish Association for Marine Science to see if the new techniques in ocean farming can be replicated around the islands and sea lochs of the west coast of Scotland. Dr Tamsin Edwards of King's College, London, joins Tom to calculate just how much of our carbon emissions might be swallowed by farming the oceans.

It's iceberg season here in Newfoundland. Just check out Facebook and you will see some great photos being shared. And I completely acknowledge that this is probably just me, but when I hear iceberg, I think of the Titanic. Confession - I am obsessed with the Titanic. I have been for as long as I can remember. Today I am going to tell you about the Newfoundland connection to the disaster. The RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton on April 10, 1912. On her maiden voyage on April 14th, she hit an iceberg and sank in under 3 hours. The accident occured about 600 km south of Newfoundland. Only 710 of the liner's over 2200 passengers and crew were saved. A newfoundland sealing vessel called the Algerine recovered the last body in May of that same year. The distress signal sent out by Titanic was first heard at the lighthouse at Cape Race, Newfoundland. There were three lighthouse keepers there at the time, Walter Gray, Jack Goodwin and Robert Hunston, along with 14 year old Jimmy Myrick, a relative of one of the other lighthouse keepers. They had been receiving messages since Titanic set sail, from people wanting to be among the first to pass messages along to family and friends in the United States while on board her maiden voyage. But that night, the message was different, and much more urgent. A CQD, which stood for Come Quick, Danger was received. Now, there is some controversy as to who received this message. Officially, it was received by Goodwin. However, many years later, Jimmy Myrick confessed that he was actually left alone for a short time at the controls and was the one to receive the distress call. This would have been against protocol and would have cost the men their jobs, so Jimmy was sworn to secrecy and only revealed this later in life after the keepers had passed away. Goodwin was on his way back into the room and he took over. He called for his superior, Mr. Gray, who stayed on with Jack Phillips on board the Titanic and relayed messages to other ships, to officials and to the public, doing his best to help. Following the disaster, a ship was chartered that would act as a permanent weather station of sorts, positioned at the Grand Banks to be on the lookout for icebergs and report any sightings to stations in Newfoundland and Labrador. People assumed the Titanic sank in one piece, and there was always talk of trying to raise her. It wasn't until 1985 that Robert Ballard was able to find the wreckage and it came out that she had actually split in two prior to sinking. The wreckage will probably never be able to brought up from what is now known as Titanic Canyon, but earlier this year, expeditions to the site were announced. Did you know that more people have gone to space than have seen the Titanic wreck in person? I'd love to go, if anyone feels like springing for the $100,000 ticket for me. I hope you all enjoyed this mini, and I'll be back next week with a full episode. Talk to you then!

1/4 In this first episode we cross the ocean from the Grand Banks to the tip of South Africa via Reykjavik in Iceland meeting those involved in fishing and working along the shores of the Atlantic. Beneath the waves, oceanographer Jon Copley from Southampton University provides a fascinating underwater commentary, demonstrating how currents and ocean ridges link the lives on every shore of the Atlantic. The Atlantic Ocean covers more than 100 million square kilometres, stretching from southern Africa to Iceland and from the Americas to Europe. Named after the Greek God Atlantikos and for the area of water near to the Atlas Mountains, it has shaped human history and culture in more ways than any other ocean as a trade route, a slave passage and as a vital source of food. For centuries it has been a source of wealth and prosperity for those who voyaged across it in search of food, from the Basque sailors who ventured to North America in search of cod and whale meat, to the Vikings who traversed it long before European explorers began exploring and exploiting its peoples and riches. It was fish that enabled this early travel and it is fish that has continued to sustain populations around the Atlantic ever since, from Newfoundland to Iceland and onward to West Africa. This first episode of our new series exploring the great oceans of the world looks at the communities eking a living from its waters - their culture, their livelihoods and the challenges they face.

The mill exported Holbrook's Champagne Cider to Great Britain, Denmark, Germany and Belgium and in the US as far as Texas and Nebraska. It was advertised as "The World's Largest Cider Mill" producing 1.25 million gallons of cider per year. The mill also invented and patented the Steam-Powered Cider Press (1871) and used sand to filter the cider to remove "impurities". The mill was the largest employer in the town.

Byron Prior has spent his lifetime trying to get someone, ANYONE to seriously look into the charges of abuse he and his siblings endured over the course of their childhood. The eldest of 12 siblings, he and his brothers and sisters were relentlessly sexually, physically and emotionally assualted by their own mother and her high profile friends. In a town of 2500 in Grand Banks, NFLD,no one reached out to help these kids..everyone turned a blind eye to what was going on and the perpetraters never felt the sting of justice. No one has ever been charged. One sister had a baby at 11 and two more by the time she was 15, allegedly fathered says Prior, by T. Alex Hickman, Justice Minister, 1966 to 1979 also Health Minister 1968 to 1969 and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland 1979 to 2000. Doesn't it seem strange that NO ONE would investigate or lay charges? Despite NUMEROUS complaints by the children no one ever intervened to stop the abuse.WHY has justice not been served? According to Prior.."because Hickman "owned the town and could do whatever he wanted to.What does he want? A DNA TEST from HIckman to prove that his niece is Hickmans daughter..Don't miss the compelling real life drama..
