Seventy years after surviving the sinking of the passenger ferry SS Caribou in the Cabot Strait, Percy Moores still knows he's lucky to be alive.

 

"I darned near drowned there," said Moores.

 

Moores, a sailor with the British navy aboard a minesweeper in the English Channel, was heading home to Moores Cove, Newfoundland, on leave when, just before dawn on Oct.14, 1942, a German U-boat torpedoed and sank the SS Caribou.
