Maritime Murder
Maritime Murder
“Sometimes life—and death—can surprise you greatly.
In the year 1868, Charlottetown was one of the busiest harbours on this side of the Atlantic, which made the bustling little Prince Edward Island seaport a natural breeding ground for prostitution, gambling, alcoholism, and sudden bouts of unexpected violence.
George Dowey was a natural-born sailor with a serious, diehard addiction to the fairer sex. “I likes them,” he would admit to any who asked him. “Blondes, brunettes, redheads—they...’re the best thing the Creator ever thought up, and I prays to them and I praises them any chance I can get.”
Dowey was born in Montreal, but he claimed to have raised himself on voyages from the port of New Orleans to Boston, London, and as far as the Black Sea. He was a man at home upon the water, and he valued the land as nothing more than a place to spend his earnings.
Being what he considered a “practical thinking man,”MoreLess
