Notes:

3 Mar 1947 ? Sinking of SS Novadoc, off the coast of Maine, USA - the sinking of the gypsum freighter 'Novadoc', a 261-foot laker ship, and the loss of 24 lives; the ship had sailed from Nova Scotia into a fierce nor'easter in the Bay of Fundy in March of 1947.
Margaret Briscoe was head cook on the Novadoc. She was born and raised in Renfrew, and was widowed when her husband, Harold Eady, was killed by sniper fire in Italy, 1944. The sinking of the Novadoc is one of the greatest maritime disasters in Canada or the US. Not without controversy, many of the crew refused to sail because the ship, they felt, was not seaworthy.
Nice Tribute to the 24 lives lost today fateful day in 1947, put to song by the late Blaine Henshaw. https://youtu.be/oBxL4NTgHFU
