CBC radio program consisting of an interview recorded in 1964 of William Henry King, a sailor born in Bristol, England who came to live in Canada and became a captain on the Great Lakes. He describes Toronto in the late 19th century, his marriage to his childhood sweetheart, the difficulty of making ends meet, and his getting a job aboard a Great Lakes ship. King describes in detail the gale of 1913 that sunk 14 ships in the Great Lakes, killing all aboard. This installment ends with King talking about his getting a job as a captain working for the St. Lawrence Navigation Company.

Show detail Hide detail

1. William Henry King was 98 at the time the interview was recorded.~2. Tape box also indicates that Parts 1 and 2 of an interview with W.F.A. Turgeon are also on the tape but the King interview is the only item actually on the tape.~3. The tape box bears the date 12 May 1985, but the King interview was probably first broadcast sometime in 1968 or 1969, since J. Frank Willis was the interviewer.~2. Appears to be the first of several installments.
