HARABOUCHER, NS - - The memorial to the 229 who died in the crash of Swiss Air Flt. 111 on Sept. 2, 1998 are two carved messages on polished granite stones. The flight crashed after catching fire and plunged into the ocean 5 miles (equidistant) off the coasts of Peggy's Cove and Bayswater.Nearly 11 years on there are still stuffed toys and artificial flower arrangements left to adorn the memorial. Peggy's Cove is on the horizon a short distance away.
THE unwritten code of the sea for fishermen in this harsh Nova Scotia environment is to help any and all in distress. The crews from The Cove and Bayswater played a large part in recovery operations.
