C.S. Minia-- Part 2

The C.S. Minia belonged to the Anglo-America Telegraph Company and was chartered on April 21, 1912 and put to sea the next day from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canmada, under command of W.E.S. DeCarteret, with undertaker H.W. Snow and Rev. H.W. Cunnigham (rector Anglican Parish). /// It arrived at the Titanic site April 26 and was joined by the CS Mackay-Bennet and remained searching until May 3rd. Bad weather hampered recovery operations the whole time. Just seventeen bodies were recovered and fifteen taken back to Halifax to be claimed or interred. //// Three bodies were unidentified. Charles Hay's body was the first one recovered. ////
