Clifford Patrick HallClifford Hall was born and raised on Woods Island, Bay of Islands, on the West coast of Newfoundland. He remembers seeing the large black and white pcture of the S.S. Caribou, the passenger ferry that ran between North Sydney, Nova Scotia and Port au Basques, Newfoundland. The somber picture, depicting the captain and his two sons who lost their lives adorned the wall of every parlor in Newfoundland for years.

His daughter, Sabrina, to whom this book is dedicated, passed away in January, 2021. His son Brian, is presently in St.Tropez, France where he is captain of the research ship Gene Machine.
