Passengers Safe After Invermore Strikes Labrador Rocks
ANOCIATES BT JOHNS N F July 11 All passengers aboard the Casatal steamer Invermore were landed safely today after the vessel struck rocks near Brig Harbor Point on the Labrador coast. The ship rested on the rocks with only the top deck above water after the collision while trying to avoid heavy ice north of Belle Inland. The Invermore departed July 4 with heavy freight and passengers, none of whom were Labrador fishermen or planters bound north for the summer, and the Brig Harbor Point area lies on a desolate rockbound coast north of Belle Isle.
