Over the Waves: SS Regulus

The SS Regulus was built by the Tyne Iron Shipbuilding Company at Willington Quay in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. It was purchased by the St. John’s firm A. Harvey and Company in 1897 to serve as a general cargo vessel travelling from Newfoundland to other ports along the eastern seaboard.

The bulk carrier was making a routine crossing, but her lack of seaworthiness meant she never saw her destination.

Over the Waves: SS Florizel

As many of you will know if you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, I was fortunate enough to be involved in some of the various commemoration events for the centennial anniversary of the SS Florizel. Coming out of that week, I’ve decided to publish an abridged version of the talk I gave at The Rooms on February 22nd.

This is not the full text of my presentation, but it summarizes many of the key points around the story of her sinking. If you have any questions or stories to share, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
