Tim,
I have the book "Bluenose Ghosts" by Helen C. I have an Acadian friend who grew up in Cape St. Mary's. I walked with him one day a few years ago off the back of his property. He told me the story of Sea King Cove. Rumour has it that the ship "Sea King" ran aground in a winter storm. The men on board tried to escape by climbing the cliffs where the ship came to rest. No one survived. They found some of the bodies in the morning frozen to the rocks where they tried to climb. I've often wanted to research the story further; it would make a great song don't you think ( maybe the "Songwriting" thread could use this tale)?
If you have any info, or care to swap some stories keep posting on this thread.
