13 - Niagara In The Lake

  • Summary

  • Some shipwrecks are just so old that facts can be a bit contradicting. The PS Niagara is one of those wrecks. Join hosts Michelle and Andrew as they weed through the probable embellishments that make the storytelling about the night the PS Niagara went down even more intense. And listen in for how the ship almost claimed two more modern-day lives as well as the uncovering of a small doll that survived the wreck.
