Past Scene of a Terrific Storm September 12, 1775 A terrific storm occurred on September 12th 1775. The sea suddenly rose twenty feet, causing much damage to premises and shipping in Conception Bay. Over three hundred lives were lost at Northern Bay where many fishing boats had gone to get squid for bait. Many of the bodies were washed up on the beach shown in this picture.
