The Sinking of the Steamboat Victoria, 1881, London, Ontario.

Author, John Passfield's latest historical novel.

How did so many die without any obvious memorial or lasting public awareness? Of five hundred passengers on a steamboat restricted to three hundred, almost two hundred people died.

Well over a century later, Passfield has researched and through articles in the London Free Press and London Advertiser, using the real names of victims and personalities of the day, he brings to us an amazing tale of unbelieveable tragedy.
