140. The Great Storm (November 9th, 1913) - Kingsbridge Centre

In a storm that ravaged the Great Lakes region for three days in 1913, with the heaviest of it happening on November 9th, blizzard and hurricane force winds destroyed a total of 19 vessels, stranded 19 others and claimed the lives of more than 144 sailors.

Warren and Eleanor Robinson are here to talk about a play that Warren wrote back in the 70’s about that storm. It has been staged a few times since and is about to storm into the Kingsbridge Centre. Joining them will be stage manager Shelley Morley and later in the show, two of the lead actors in the production Meg Frayne and Kieran Melady.
