NOTES [63 words]: Burgeo is on the south coast of Newfoundland, about 70 miles east of Port-aux-Basques by sea. - BS
Frank Galgay and Michael McCarthy, Shipwrecks of Newfoundland and Labrador, Volume III, Creative Publishers, 1995, p. 157, mention a schooner named Glennara, Captain Jacobs, wrecked at Strawberry, Labrador in 1876. I have no idea if this is the same ship as the Glenora. - RBW
