AP are 40 years out on the date of The Quest being sucked under the water, 1922 not 1962.
You are mistaken …
Quest was damaged by ice while on a seal hunt off the Labrador coast in the traditional waters of the Mi’kmaq, Innu and Inuit, and sank on May 5, 1962.
After the explorer’s death, the Quest was used for Arctic research and then returned to its original intended use as a sealing vessel. It sank in 1962 after it was damaged by ice in the Labrador Sea while on a whaling trip.
Shackleton suffered a fatal heart attack on board on 5 January 1922 while trying to reach the Antarctic. And although Quest continued in service until it sank in 1962, the earlier link with the explorer gives it great historic significance.
Back almost 25 years ago I was hired as a weather observer at my regional airport and had to go for training in Hamilton. We had a meteorologist in the group, and he told us that big companies recruited meteorologists out of university so the could forecast wind speed and direction for the company. This was so the company would know when they could flare their stacks without setting off the gov’t air monitoring stations around the plant.
Ugh. I’m further north so they’re not here yet, but I swell up like a balloon from black fly bites and no-see-ums. Can’t imagine what’ll it be like with these things.
