  1. 1.  Charles West was born in Sep 1913 in Lumsden North, Newfoundland; died on 28 Mar 2004 in Musgrave Harbour, Newfoundland.

    Notes:

    Name:
    Charlie was still living at Lumsden North in 1946. The Wests lived well out towards the Queen's Head, and on the morning of Friday, December 17, 1946, Charlie was up long before daylight to see if it was a good morning for a bird. Charlie was known as a "great hand fer the gun" (Raymond W. Guy's book "From the Straight Shore".) It was a real winter's morning, the wind on the land with snow and blowing snow. The snow eased up a bit and Charlie saw what he thought was the morning star. But the star seemed to be swaying and, as the snow lightened a bit more, he saw other lights below the star and realized they were the lights on a ship.

    The SS Thackery was bound for Botwood for a load of newsprint from the paper mill at Grand Falls. After she passed Cat Harbour Island (Norther Island), she was caught in a gale on the land and slowly drifted ashore on Queen's Head. Efforts to take the crew off by boats failed, but a line was gotten ashore, a bosun's chair was rigged, and after four hours, all were safely landed. The ship spent the winter grounded on Queen's Head but did not suffer much damage. On the first high tide of the Spring, she was refloated and went to St. John's for repairs. (All this info came from Raymond Guy's book.)
