How this mother and daughter survived as their ferry sank

from Storylines

When Trina Benedict tucked her 6 year old into the bunk on the Queen of the North ferry that evening in 2006, she had no idea what nightmare was about to unfold. Just a few hours later, they’d be running for their lives from the ship, as it slowly sank into the cold ocean water. It’s 20 years since that ferry sank off the coast of British Columbia. 101 passengers were onboard. Two - Gerald Foizy and Shirley Rosette - were never found, and are presumed dead. Betsy Trumpener's award-winning documentary weaves together chilling SOS calls and Trina’s harrowing first person account. From our special archival doc summer series - This is Still at Sea.
