Madawaska Survives Water Spout Haul With Bare Bunkers
The British freighter Madawaska arrived at Boston after a 22 day voyage from Algiers via Calcutta and Colombo. She endured 12 water spouts and weeks of head seas that burned nearly all coal, leaving only bunker scrapings and a half an old deck chair for fuel. The ship stayed intact below the waterline and was described as ship shape above decks after a stormy transatlantic crossing.
