| Photo of the C-2 USS Pollux. On February 18, 1942, the 1193-ton U.S. Navy destroyer USS Truxtun and the 6,085-ton U.S. Navy supply ship USS Pollux en route Argentia, Newfoundland from Portland, Maine, ran ashore near Saint Lawrence, Newfoundland, in a snow storm despite having the newly developed and still-secret navigational aid called radar on board. Of the 389 persons on the two vessels, 203 were lost. The photo of the ship was provided courtesy of the National Archives, Washington, D.C. Looking at the picture of the ship, you'll notice she is carrying what appears to be her radar gear up on the flying bridge. Additionally, while she appears to be secure for sea, she still has a stage slung over the side up forward. I believe Truxtun was an old Navy four-stacker. Of interest was the subsequent expression of gratitude by a black steward's mate aboard one of the vessels, who subsidized the construction of playground equipment for a school at Saint Lawrence, Nfld. The Newfoundlanders had saved as many of the crews as was possible. The Pollux was laid down as the Comet in March of 1940, and when the Navy took her over in 1941 her name was changed. The Pollux was wrecked on Laron Head at the entrance to Saint Lawrence Harbor. - From a post card provided by Chuck Durand |
