The Loss of the Marion
by Linda Abbott
The banking schooner Marion set sail from St. Jacques, Newfoundland, bound for St. Pierre, the home base of Captain Pierre Maurice, on June 10, 1915. The vessel and crew were never seen again. Many have speculated that the French captain had made good on his threat to end the life of Captain Ike Jones, but it was never proven. The Loss of the Marion delivers a chilling account of an event that changed the lives of many families . . . and shaped the lives of generations to come. Linda Abbott is a retired French Immersion teacher, having spent most of her career at Holy Trinity Elementary School in Torbay. The Loss of the Marion is her first novel. She resides in St. John’s.
