1914 Jan 26 Frozen Bay



A short article from the Hamilton Spectator of January 26, 1914, quoted in full :
“Fully two thousand people enjoyed the excellent skating on the bay yesterday. A short distance out from shore, the going was a little rough, but towards the centre of the bay and along the north shore the ice was in splendid shape. Many skated to the beach. Several young men carried hockey sticks and organized scrub hockey teams. One young man went in the water up to his knees when the ice over a channel near the north shore gave way.”
