Point Petre Monument

Picton Gazette - 11 August 1939.

Point Petre Officers mark sailors' grave.

Pointe Petre, Aug. 10. – In a small plot of ground unnoticed for years lay the bodies of ten shipwrecked sailors who some time ago lost their lives during a bad Lake Ontario storm.

Officers of the Point Petre Camp have erected a large white cross, a suitable monument to the memory of these gallant seamen, who with others, have gone down to the sea in ships.
