Looking into the flying dutchman and the Trent River train disaster

A true crime story and a train disaster from the island’s past are being looked at through a new lens.  Historian Dave Flawse wonders whether Henry Wagner aka the flying dutchman deserved his date with the hangman’s noose, and author Kim Bannerman explored the commemoration of the Japanese victims of the Trent River train disaster of 1898. Both stories appeared in the book A Place Called Cumberland, released by the Cumberland Museum and Archives. Midcoast Morning previously brought you some info on that collection, but didn’t have time to delve all the way into the stories.
