Season 6 Ep 5: A Sailor's Secret from the SS Atlantic Shipwreck of 1873

In 1873, off the coast of a small village in Nova Scotia, the SS Atlantic was pulled off course by the tides of the Bay of Fundy and it crashed headlong into the rocks. 1,000 people were on board. Fast forward to the 21st Century, when Lynette Richards, author and artist - and super sleuth  - moved to this little coastal village, called Lower Prospect, and discovered the mass graves of 500 lives who perished in the wreck. This led Lynette on a years-long journey that rescued lives and stories that are now living in Lynette's graphic novel, Call Me Bill. Have a listen as our host, Kathleen Barker, talks with Lynette about the mysteries and injustices that have been discovered and corrected in Lower Prospect and beyond!History UnErased is putting LGBTQ history in its rightful place — the classroom — and uniting all "We the People" with a more complete story of America.
