“The Wretched Crew of the Tonquin” – ID# 13283

“The Wretched Crew of the Tonquin”

Entered By: Keith Simanton

Entry Category: Residential Entry

Description
Captain Jonathan Thorn and the remains of the crew of the blighted ship, The Tonquin, have pulled themselves from their watery graves in Clayoquot Sound and up Shell Creek, seeking to plunder and pillage. The horrid tableau must be seen to be believed, if one can countenance such horror. 6 of the damn-ed crew, in Davy Jones’s locker since 1811, have hoisted themselves to haunt on Halloween night, but the sea creatures that snacked on them still bedevil these scalliwags. (Google “The Tonquin” to read more of the tragic tale.)
