The beauty of Chamber Cove hides a tragic past and the heroic stories of the rescue. Memorial to USS Truxton and USS Pollux erected on the 75th anniversary of this tragic Naval Disaster. Imagine a 13 meter Tsunami Wave travelling at 100 km/hr toward an unsuspecting town. Seem unimaginable on this civilized day.
