Cape Breton's Magazine T-shirt"After the Storm"100% Cotton Printed Black and White Medium or X-Large $12.95 |
It is said to have been the worst storm in living memory to strike Cape Breton Island with winds up to 71 miles an hour, rain, and then enough snow to strand cars on Smokey and Kelly's Mountain. The photograph was taken the morning after the storm. Johnny "Mink" MacInnes's lobster boat was anchored at the breakwater (completely underwater in the picture) and her stern anchor let go, bringing her broadside to the breakwater and filling her. Lloyd MacInnis, Kenny Matheson, and Ian MacDermid (hand on the boat) went out in a dory to tie onto her and pull her to the wharf.
At little River alone, several boats were damaged and two destroyed and that is only a small part of the story to be told right around the Island damage to boats, huge snarls of rope and busted traps floating miles from where they were set, nets completely destroyed. And there was no weather warning. The morning was fine, and had it not been Sunday, the fishermen would have been out on the water when this storm struck.
