About Revisions Mapledawn Ontario, Canada 1/01/2008 12:00 AM

On Nov. 30. 1924 gales stranded the Mapledawn, bound for Port McNichol with a barley cargo, on Christian Island in a blinding snowstorm. Two weeks of salvage recovered 75,000 bushels of barley but the ship was declared a total loss. Some machinery was removed then but more of this wreck was raised for metal salvage in 1942 during the midst of World War II.
