Miscellaneous
The Joint Task Force Atlantic has been busy removing unexploded ordnance from the wrecks of iron ore carriers lying at the bottom of Conception Bay near Bell Island. Shells have been removed from the wreck of the Lord Strathcona, one of a number of ships sunk by German U-boat strikes during WWII. Lieutenant Richard McKenty is the Public Affairs Officer for the CAF-Joint Task Force Atlantic-Bell Island Wrecks Unexploded Ordnance Clearance Project. VOCM's Linda Swain caught up with him at the top of a hill in Holyrood where they were preparing to discharge some of the ordnance already retrieved.
