PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks. An historic wharf in Riverside-Albert is crumbling into the Bay of Fundy after heavy rains last weekend caused the structure to start falling apart. The Shipyard Heritage Park was built in 2006 to serve as a monument to the southern community's shipbuilding past. The park has a restored lighthouse, a nearly full-scale replica ship (Revolving Light) and the wharf. ———————————————————————————— On September 12, 1875, a three-masted barque named Revolving Light slid from the slipway at Turner Shipyard in Harvey Bank, NB, amid cheers of onlookers. She lurched forward as a tugboat towed her, pennants flashing, through the tidal waters of the Shepody River and into the Bay of Fundy. At 196 feet long, the 1,338-ton ship was beautiful, graceful and sturdy. Then one night, as she was being towed by tugboat through the channels off Holland’s coastal islands on the last leg of a voyage from Buenos Aires to Germany, the weather shifted. An unexpected storm unleashed a volley of waves and wind, wrenching the ship from her tow cable. The captain and his 16-man crew struggled to re-establish a connecting line in the gale. Driven by wind, the ship floundered on a sandbar near the small Dutch island of Texel, and the men abandoned ship. With his crew aboard the tug, the captain watched as the vessel began to break apart. It was December 18, 1902. |
