A fantastic account on the perils of the Tidal Wave (Tsunami) in 1929 on the Town of St. Lawrence and surrounding area. Keep up the great work you are doing, Carl! It's because of you, LAURENTIAN LEGACY TOURS, and the members of THE ST.LAWRENCE HERTIAGE SOCIETY that the history and culture of our beautiful town will never die.
Thanks also to Aliant Living Heritage Podcast for allowing Carl to tell his story.
