Description
On February 16, 1939, Temple Steamship Company, Ltd. of London, owner of the British S/S Temple Bar, entered into a contract with Mutsubishi Shoji Kaisha Ltd. of New York, whereby the steamship was chartered to carry a full cargo of scrap steel from ports in Florida to ports in Japan. The cargo was loaded at Jacksonville and Port Everglades, Florida, and she sailed from the latter port on March 14, 1939 for her destination via Port Royal, Jamaica, the Panama Canal and Comox, which lies on the easterly side of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. To reach this port it was necessary for the vessel to pass along the coast of Oregon and Washington, and while off the coast of Washington she stranded on the Quillahute Needle Rock about one and a half miles southeasterly of James Island Light, and as a result, the vessel, except for some equipment, and the cargo were lost.
