Evening Telegram - St. John's: Jan 19 1943 Former Resident of Calvert Drowned ? Augusta Powers Fell Off Deck Beam Trawler ? Boston Jan 18 (CP) ? The beam trawler Commorant returned to port today with the news that Seaman Augusta Powers, aged 31, formerly of Calvert Nfld, had been lost at sea. The body was recovered and brought to port. The man was doing deck duty on the ship when he fell overboard. His parents are living in Calvert. (per e-mail from Audrey Swain - 14 Oct 2015).
There is an error in his age in the newspaper. His age was actually 37 not 31.
