On November 27, 1913, as an aftermath of the Great Storm, a procession left the William Brophey Funeral Home on West Street in Goderich. The procession was bearing the bodies of five unidentified sailors to the Maitland Cemetery. A band led the way playing a slow funeral march. The Town Council attended and three clergymen from town also participate in the service (from files from Winds Over Lake Huron, page 60). The late Ron Pennington, himself a Great Lakes sailor, was instrumental in preserving this aspect of our marine heritage.
