In 1919 the coastal ferry, the S.S. Ethie, went aground in a fierce storm on the rocky shores of Western Newfoundland. All 92 persons on the ship that night were saved by the combined heroism of the Ethie’s Captain and crew, and of a local fisherman and his dog. The SS Ethie has become the subject of folk songs and theatre and always one question is left unanswered. Was there really a dog at all, involved in this dramatic rescue?
