Yankee Gale
The Yankee Gale was a major storm in the Gulf of St. Lawrence near Prince Edward Island, Canada, that began on the night of October 3, 1851 and continued for two days. In addition to local ships, the storm wrecked much of the New England fishing fleet that was working in the waters, giving the gale its name. At least 74 ships were destroyed, and 150 crew were killed. ==General Description== A brassy appearance was witnessed in the northwest sky on the afternoon of October 3. Long swells start moving into the Gulf of St. Lawrence from the southeast, as the wind begins to pick up out of the same quarter. The wind backed to the northeast that evening, increasing to gale force. Also, surface pressures across the region begin to fall rapidly, with one barometer on Nova Scotia falling 31 hPa or mb/nearly 1 inch within 23 hours. The gales continued for nearly two days, according to one of the sea captain's logs from the area.
