The events of the sealing ship “Newfoundland” in March of 1914 are etched in the minds of many Newfoundlanders. Morrissey brings those tragic, horrific hours to heartbreaking life in this new book. Roan is a young man searching for the truth of his birth, having thought himself an orphan for his entire life; his quest brings him aboard the Newfoundland and its deadly voyage. I was riveted to this story, especially once Roan boards the ship and meets his shipmates, particularly Bazzie and Uncle Jack.
