Great Lakes Storm of 1913 monument unveiled
Ceremony kicked off a weekend of
remembrance events

It was fitting that a blustery
wind was blowing off Lake
Huron.
That wind could be felt by
the many who attended a
special ceremony held in
Goderich on Nov. 8 to offi-
cially kick off the centenary
remembrance of the Great
Lakes Storm of 1913.
A large number of com-
mittee members, dignitaries
and members of the public
braved the windy, cold
weather to witness the
ceremony.
"What a fitting day," said
Capt. David MacAdam, chair
of The Great Lakes Storm of
1913 Remembrance Com-
mittee, speaking of the
weather while addressing
the gathered crowd.
From Nov. 7 to Nov. 10,
1913, the Great Lakes were
battered by what have been
called the "greatest nautical
disaster" in its history.
The Great Storm claimed
250 lives, stranding 19 other
people and causing 12
shipwrecks.
The worse damage was on
Nov 9, the majority of which
was seen on Lake Huron,
host to eight of the 12
shipwrecks.
The past weekend featured
a number of activities with
the goal of remembering the
disaster and those who lost
their lives.
Before the ceremony
started, the Celtic Blue High-
landers and Flag Parties
marched from Vickers Lane
to Cannon Park.
MacAdam welcomed all
those in attendance, fol-
lowed by an opening prayer
and blessing from the Vener-
able Allan Livingstone, chap-
lain for Royal Canadian
Legion branch 109 in
Goderich.
Greetings were read by a
number of dignitaries.

Deputy Mayor John Grace thanked
all the volunteers and committee mem-
bers for all their effort and hard work.
MPP Lisa Thompson and MPP Ben
Lobb spoke as well, with Lobb noting if
there was a silver lining, it was the job
fair the committee was putting on, that
showed that even with disasters such as
the Great Storm, there are still people
with a passion for keeping the marine
industry strong.
Also on hand was Kirk Jones, vice-
president of sustainability, government
and industry affairs for Canada Steam-
ship Lines, appearing on behalf of
former Prime Minster Paul Martin.
Jones read a statement written by
Martin in which he said though ships
made of steel come and go, the lives lost
during the storm will be remembered
forever.
After the speeches were completed
and a moment of silence, a new monu-
ment acknowledging the Great Lakes
Storm of 1913 was unveiled.
The monument, which was designed
by Keith Homan, one of the honorary
co-chairs of the committee, features
metal works by James Wallace of Sharp's
Creek Forge and stonework by Bryan
Stothers & Sons Stonemasonry.
It now compliments a sign that was
installed in Cannon's Park during the
50th anniversary of the Great Lakes
Storm.
After the playing of God Save The
Queen and retirement of the Colour
Parties, many attendees of the cere-
mony returned to the legion to enjoy
the sounds of the Goderich Harbourai-
res Men's Choir.
