Bound for Newfoundland in December 1867, the vessel made her first port of call in St. John's, only to meet her doom on the rocks of Gull Island, Cape John. The following spring, Captain Mark Rowsell of Leading Tickles chanced upon the fallen ship's crew on his return voyage from the seal hunt. His discovery of the wreckage, and the fate of the men and women on board, marks a chilling and unforgettable event that has echoed worldwide in the history of seagoing vessels. A fictionalized account of final voyage of the Queen of Swansea - a story with a gruesome turn of events that makes it unique in the annals of Atlantic shipwrecks. Author Gary Collins is Newfoundland and Labrador's favourite storyteller. He lives in Hare Bay, Newfoundland."
