Graveyard of the Pacific The miles of coastline stretching across the Pacific side of Vancouver Island have long been known in the nautical community as some of the deadliest in the world. This treacherous area also known as The Graveyard of the Pacific, is an oceanic cemetery to the literally thousands of vessels, from large warships and passenger ferries to lumber barges and small tugs, that have crashed and sunk along its rocky coast. Despite its morbid leanings, this Virtual Museum of Canada website is a lot of fun, and also provides insight into an interesting niche of nautical history. There is an interactive timeline, a section dedicated to real-life tales of hope and courage in the face of tragedy, and even an online newspaper called the Shipwreck Times that uses historical data, old interviews, journal entries and official records to 're-write' articles about famous shipwrecks. http://www.pacificshipwrecks.ca/english/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
