George and St. Lawrence resident, Jerome Slaney, at Chambers Cove where the USS Truxton ran hard aground and broke up during WW II. The USS Pollux ran aground a bit farther west. Notice the unforgiving ruggedness of the coast and the height and steepness of the cliffs up which the miners hauled the surviving sailors. Also check the wind on this day - that's why we are here.
