This doesn't look like a well frequented forum but I'll ask my question anyway.

Does anyone remember an incident on November 21st 1966 when a freighter called the Sunclipper entered port in the early morning, couldn't get its engines in reverse to stop, and smashed into the dock at a shallow angle causing considerable damage?

I was on it as a 17 year old who had worked for passage across from Montreal.

Cheers,

Kirk Lorange
