On 30 Dec 1896, SS Warwick crashed into the rocks at Grand Manan, New Brunswick. All on board safely evacuated, but the locals soon found a tasty surprise in the hold of the ship, providing for quite a New Year's Eve celebration.

The stunning, 6-masted schooner Delaware Sun started life as the William L. Douglas, built in 1903 in Quincy, Massachusetts.

She was the largest 6-masted steel collier ever built and the lower parts of her masts were hollow steel cylinders. (1/3) 🧵
