Oct 9, 2011Within Sight of Shore
In April of 1945, HMCS Esquimalt, a Canadian Minesweeper led by Captain Robert C.
Macmillan, became the last Canadian ship sunk in the Second World War. Torpedoed off the
coast of Nova Scotia, those that survived the blast were stranded for almost 7 hours in the ice-cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Forty four men lost their lives.
"Within Sight of Shore" follows the son of her captain, celebrated composer Scott
Macmillan as he commemorates this event with an original composition.
"Within Sight of Shore" tells a great war story from a uniquely Atlantic Canadian
perspective, as music celebrates a ship, a captain and the legacy left behind.
Welcome to Land and Sea
For more than thirty years Land and Sea has brought you stories from people who live off the land and the sea. We cover issues that affect people in rural communities which ultimately affect those in cities as well.
We bring you stories from those who celebrate life living close to nature, who promote and protect their culture and traditional ways of doing things. There are stories of success and sometime failures that portray the unique way Atlantic Canadians deal with the challenges and pleasures of living on the east coast.
Join us Sundays at 12 noon on CBC Television.
