The SS Atlantic Heritage Park in Terence Bay, Nova Scotia. Site of the worst marine disaster in the North Atlantic ocean prior to Titanic. This fellow White Star Line disaster is a lesser-known, but no less tragic part of Nova Scotia's history. A beautiful park, very informative museum and cafe.

The Wreck of the SS ATLANTIC - Halifax, NS 1873
The SS Atlantic wrecked on the rocks of Lower Prospect in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1873. The story is nearly forgotten. We do our best to tell the story of the sinking, the worst disaster on the North Atlantic in the 1800's, and the first disaster for the White Star Line.
Technically, this is Historical Telegrams, Episode 4, but we want this video to also stand on its own and be used to independently promote the SS Atlantic Heritage Park, so we aren't including the episode number in the title.
This was made in cooperation with the SS Atlantic Heritage Park Society and the Titanic Society of Atlantic Canada.

Boating on Terence Bay, Nova Scotia
Just a little day trip on Terence Bay, NS
The shipwreck of the RMS Atlantic Nova Scotia (1873)
Place sunk Mosher Island, 30 km S.E. of Halifax
Cause Stormy weather, misnavigation and Collided against rocks.
Depth 25m
Loss of life 547 passengers
On 20 March 1873 the Atlantic departed on her 19th voyage from Liverpool with 952 people on board, of whom 835 were passengers. En route, the crew decided to make port at Halifax, Nova Scotia to replenish coal for the boilers.
During the approach to Halifax on the evening of March 31 the captain and 3rd officer were on the bridge until midnight, while the Atlantic made her way through a storm, proceeding at 12 knots (22 km/h) for the entrance of Halifax harbour, experiencing intermittent visibility and heavy seas. Unbeknownst to the crew or passengers, the Atlantic was approximately 12½ miles (20 km) off-course to the west of Halifax Harbour. Officers failed to take soundings, post a masthead lookout, reduce speed or wake the captain as they approached the unfamiliar coast. They somehow did not spot the Sambro Lighthouse, the large landfall lighthouse which warns mariners of the rocky shoals to the west of the harbour entrance.
At 2:00 a.m. local time on 1 April 1873, the Atlantic struck an underwater rock called Marr's Head 50 metres from Meagher's Island, Nova Scotia. Lifeboats were lowered by the crew but were all washed away or smashed as the ship quickly filled with water and flipped on its side. Survivors were forced to swim or climb ropes first to a wave-swept rock and then to a barren shore. Residents of the tiny fishing village of Lower Prospect and Terence Bay soon arrived to rescue and shelter the survivors, but 535 people died, leaving only 371 survivors. The ship's manifest indicates that of the 952 aboard, 156 were women and 189 were children on board (including two who had been born during the voyage). All women and all children perished except for one twelve-year-old boy, John Hindley. Ten crew members were lost, while 131 survived. This was the worst civilian loss of life in the Northern Atlantic until the wreck of Norge on Rockall on 28 June 1904. The Canadian government inquiry concluded with the statement, the conduct of Captain Williams in the management of his ship during the twelve or fourteen hours preceding the disaster, was so gravely at variance with what ought to have been the conduct of a man placed in his responsible position.

Remnants of winter storm Stella lashing the granite coast at Terence Bay, Nova Scotia, 15 March 2017. The dull roar in the background is the sound of Atlantic rollers crashing on the shore. This little cove behind Terence Bay lighthouse is usually calm when I visit in summer and fall with my Tours by Locals travelers.
