Summary

The West Coast Trail on Vancouver island is a beautiful trail that attracts backpackers from all over the world every single year. But this trail wasn't created for them. It was created for a different reason, to rescue survivors of shipwrecks off the coast from some of the most dangerous waters in the Pacific. In 1906 one of the most devastating shipwrecks occurred. Due to bad weather conditions and mistakes in navigation, it crashed onto a reef, just out of reach of land. Passengers and crew members did everything they could to get to safety but the violent waves fought them every step of the way. Onlookers had no way to reach them to help, and stood by helplessly as people perished.
