Ghosts of a tragedy haunt the Melanope barge at Smith's Cove
The Melanope, a former romantic ship tied off Smith's Cove, remains a relic of a scandalous liaison and a drowned captain. The aging hulk carries memories of Captain Craigen, his English mistress Emma, and a doomed voyage. It later changed hands, wrecked in 1904, and became a coal barge under James Griffiths after lengthy legal battles.
