The schooner President Coaker was built at Port Union, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland in 1919, by the Union Ship Building Company. In January 1924 she was returning from Pernambuco (now named Recife), Brazil when she ran aground at Shoe Cove near Cape Ballard (about ninety kilometres south of St. John's). The schooner was completely destroyed and her crew of six were lost at sea. No bodies were ever recovered.  Photo Credit: Public Domain
