EDITORS COMMENTS
Canada - Newfoundland: A Bittersweet Voyage Aboard the SS Florizel at Icefields Amidst the breathtaking backdrop of the ice-covered fields, the crew of the SS Florizel, a Canadian passenger liner and the flagship of the Bowring Brothers Red Cross Line, prepare to embark on their journey. Built in the early 1910s, the Florizel was a pioneering vessel, specifically designed to navigate the icy waters of the North Atlantic. With its advanced ice-breaking capabilities, it was one of the first ships in the world to offer year-round service between Newfoundland and other North American ports. The Florizel's last voyage, from St. John's to Halifax and on to New York, was marked by both triumph and tragedy. As the crew boarded, they were filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing they were on a state-of-the-art vessel that could brave the iciest conditions. However, their optimism was soon shattered when the ship struck a reef at Horn Head Point, Cape Race near Cappahayden, Newfoundland, in the late 1910s. The impact caused the Florizel to sink, resulting in the loss of 173 lives. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of the crew who sailed aboard the SS Florizel, as well as the inherent risks and unpredictability of the sea. The Bowring Brothers Red Cross Line continued to operate in Newfoundland for several more decades, providing essential transportation services to the region. Yet, the memory of the Florizel and its tragic end remains etched in the annals of maritime history.
