Pulled from the Sea Collection
Inspired by Arthur Johnson's The Tragic Wreck of the Anglo Saxon and history of Cape Race, Newfoundland.
Each collection is assembled by hand and sent directly to your door - sealed, as Ellen's first letter was, with wax.
Limited Release
On the night of April 27th, 1863, the Anglo Saxon went into the gulch at Cape Race. 237 people died that night.
Ellen Green was only 18 years old when her father pulled the limp body of a stranger from the water and brought him into their home. He was badly battered by the sea and barely alive. Ellen was moved by his condition and started to tend to his injuries.
While her patient teetered on the edge of death, she wrote a letter trying to find his family back in England. She had few details about his background, but she wanted his family to know that he was alive, despite the fact that he was doing so poorly.
What happened next took 65 years to fully understand...
For anyone who carries Newfoundland in their heart.
Included in this Collection:
-
Three letters, correspondence back to UK, printed on premium linen paper and sealed as they would have been sent
-
At least one hand-chosen keepsake tucked inside each letter - something special to each letter, here are a few of the things you'll find:
-
Ellen's sends the newspaper advertisement that brought the stranger to Newfoundland in the first place
-
Another letter includes the newspaper account of the wreck. His family would have read it, still not knowing whether or not he was alive.
-
Finally, a BONUS letter - which speaks of a family secret that no one has mentioned for over sixty-five years
Every collection is assembled by hand.
Each keepsake is carefully chosen and holds the clues to the story.
This is not just a story about a shipwreck.
It is a story about survival... and how family secrets have a strange way of reminding you where you came from.
Remember that the truth will surface... long after the sea has gone quiet.
For those who know these waters... it will feel familiar.
For those who don’t... it reveals how some stories refuse to be lost.
