It was three years before the Turret Bell was removed from Cable Head. On July 31“, 1909, the Turret Bell became the first vessel to be salvaged after being stranded on the North shore of the province. (53)

In 19 10, the Empress was to be the last vessel stranded in the area. This twenty-six ton vessel from Charlottetown was stranded in St. Peters Bay on May 13th. With the age of sail coming to a close at this time, the saga of vessels being run ashore and tragic shipwrecks in the Gulf also came to a close. The haunting and often tragic chapter of the great age of sail had a conclusion.
