It as the hurricane of 1938. Ten women from a church group were lost when the cottage
they were in was washed away.

I've been looking for the one that included a church group, and I can't find
a thing. I'm
sure I remember reading that they were on a church outing, but maybe I'm
imagining things.....
Anyway, thanks for sending this one. I've read through this link and looked
at few others, but as you said, there is no mention that they were part of a
group.
Apparently, the captain was charged with manslaughter

This does not mention a church group, but the captain of this ship was
also
the captain of the Larchmont!! Many Pawtucket names here...
