Unread post by Roger »

Attached are three pictures of a "Coat of Arms" that I am told was flotsam
from a vessel that sank near the mouth of the St . Lawrence river in the
late 1800 or early 1900s. According to my informant, the vessel was carrying
dried beans from Argentina bound for Quebec when it sprung a leak in its
hull, which resulted in the beans swelling and the ship sinking. It may
have hung over (or next to) the entrance to the vessel's deck-house.

I'm looking to confirm the likelihood of this story, the identity of the
ship, the name of its master, the transport company involved and/or any
other information.
