On the way back to the campsite we come across this heritage site, and walk down to the beach where we found the reminents of the S.S.Ethie, a Ship that wrecked in December of 1919. The ice had become so thick it couldn't go forward and the crew, including a baby they put in a mailbag, had to run across the ice to shore. They all made it, but there extremites had sever frostbite. The baby was in great shape. Here, I'm sitting on a big peice of it on shore, you can see other remainders behind me.
