The Trinity Bay Disaster
Hovac on the sea, lives lost
by R. W. Hayter
The dawn breaking over the old historic town of Trinity, and Trinity Bight, and the rising of the sun on Saturday morning, February 27, 1892, gave promise to a lovely day, it was a perfect day. It was a perfect calm, with not a ripple on the water.
Trinity Bay was studded with loose Arctic ice, and to all appearance it would be a perfect day for seal hunting.
By nine o'clock that morning about two hundred men and boys were afloat in their punts, and four-oared boats in Trinity Bay. Two or three days previous to this morning, there had been quite a number of seals shot in the bay, and from Green Bay, on the one side, and Ireland's Eye on the other, men and boys were in the bay, in search of seals. So anxious were some of them to be away early that they took very little food before leaving, and many of them were but thinly clad.
The sea was smooth, air warm, little or no wind, and several seals were shot by some of the further off boats.
All went well until about eleven o'clock, when the wind accompanied by intense cold, suddenly changed, blowing with terrific force from the north, north east. With the rising gale the sea was soon lashed into foam. The majority of the boast were some miles off land when the squall struck them, and they saw that to reach where they had left in the morning was an impossibility, entailing as it would a desperate row in the teeth of the gale.
Some of the crews, however, belonging to Robin Hood, who were not far off from the Horse Chops, (which lay nearly dead to windward) determined to make an attempt to land on that part of the shore. Six crews began to desperate task; and after five hours desperate towing, the spray continually drenching then, freezing as it fell and covering them with ice, they reached the shore. The majority of them were so exhausted and benumbed, they had not strength to get out of their boats.
In two cases the poor human frame was unable to bear up under the terrible strain on nerve and muscle, and before land was reached they succumber. One crew broke their oars and were drifting helplessly to leeward, when, with utter disregard for their own safety, and at the risk of sinking their own boats with the extra burden, another crew took them on board. It was on board this boat that the first poor fellow died. So heavily laden was the boat with the eight men, and the ice that was constantly forming on her sides, that to prevent her from swamping and drowning all, the body of the dead man was committed to the sea. Shortly after, the second poor fellow, (a brother of the first victim) succumbed from cold, and exhaustion.
The scene after land was reached baffles description. Four other men succumbed here from exhaustion, and the intense cold shortly after landing.
From John Butler, of Robin Hood, who was an eye witness to the proceedings, came the following account of the tragic events at Horse Chops. Mr. Butler, with the modesty which is a characteristic of the true Hero, passing lightly over the grand and noble acts of self-sacrifice, and valor, he himself performed. Had it not been for his incessant attention many of the poor fellows who landed at the Horse Chops, and who were in the last stages of exhaustion, and paralysed wit the intense cold, would undoubtedly never have recovered.
Here is John Butler's story. He said, "I went to English Harbour that Saturday to attend the funeral of my wife's brother, Joseph Penny, who had died a few days before. When the storm came on I did not go to the funeral, but went out on the Horse Chops to see if any of the boats were coming. Halfway out to where the boats landed, I met Robert Penny and Robert Ivany, of English Harbour, who had also been out looking for returning boats, but seeing none they were going home. I got them to go back with me. We waited half an hour, saw no sign, and then made a fire a little distance back where some brushwood was growing. We stayed by the fire about half an hour, and then I went out to the edge of the cliff, over Hay Cove. I saw Harry G. Batson's boat coming slowly towards land, the men in her hardly able to make a stroke; looking down over the cliff I saw several other boats had landed in the cove, and I saw my brother Alexander, trying to get William Stockly up the hill. I ran down and took my nephew, James Butler, on my back, and after a time got him to the fire up on the hill.
"The two men belonging to English Harbour were working also to get some of the men up the steep gulch. All of the men who landed here were covered with ice, hardly able to move. Two had died before landing, and four died after they landed, two of them near the fire, and the other two down over the hill. Robert Bannister managed to get partly up the hill and I saw him, while I was trying to bring some of the other men to life, he was on his hands and knees unable to move. He just muttered "God bless us" and died. His son died just before.
"We did all we could to help the men who lander here, but there was not enough of us to help them all, and we saw some die quite near us, while we were unable to aid them. Only three of us were there to help all who landed. It was a terrible time. Stephen Day of Robin Hood came about half an hour before dark, and did a great deal to help the other men, even taking off some of his own clothes, to put them on some of the other men. He and I carried my nephew to William Ivany's at English Head (the nearest house) about two miles away. He was unconscious at the time, but after a long time we managed to get life in him, and he recovered. His right foot, and left hand was frost bitten. My brother, Alexander, had both hands frost bitten. He gave his mitts to a boy. Out of the crews who landed at the Horse Chops, six men died."
This is just an outline of Mr. Butler's story, some of the details are hart rending in the extreme.
While these scenes were being enacted at the Horse Chops, others of a like nature were taking place further up the shore.
The crews who decided not to attempt to keep too far to windward landed at Trouty, Bonaventure, Ireland's Eye, Thoroughfare, and some at Deer Harbour. ALL of them were terribly exhausted and coated with ice. Those who landed at Trouty and Bonaventure recovered, without any loss of life. Many were frostbitten and exhausted, and but for the incessant attention of the residents of the places would undoubtedly have died.
Among those who landed at Ireland's Eye one man, William Barnes of English Harbour, had died in his boat before landing. Another of the same crew was unconscious and had to be taken from the boat. All the others were well cared for at the home of Mr. Thomas Cooper and ultimately recovered. The Ireland's Eye men (to their credit, be it said) who had only escaped a few minutes before with their own lives, hearing that many boats were out from Salmon Cove, and English Harbour, organized a volunteer search party and in spite of the heavy gale of wind, and the intense cold went out to the adjacent islands in search of supposed missing men. One of the rescuing party gave the following account of what they did and saw.
"Learning that a large number of English Harbour, and Salmon Cove boats had been caught in the storm, and knowing that it was impossible for them to land near their homes, a volunteer cres was called for and readily obtained to search the islands near for any who might have landed there. Two boats were manned and started, one returned without any sign of men or boats. As the second was returning about six P.M., a fire was seen in Thoroughfare, about a mile from Ireland's Eye, and they immediately went to see what it meant. The sight that met their eyes baffles description. Around the fire were five men, two nearly dead, the others trying by all means in their power to restore them. A boat was by the shore and in her were the bodies of two young men, who had died before land was reached.
"The rescuing party took the rescued and carried them to the nearest house (Old Tilt), where they were well looked after. The bodies of the dead men were put in coffins to be taken home, it was a task that unnerved the strongest men.
"Early on Sunday morning, February 28th, a crew of four men went to Rider's Harbour and other near places. No one was found. About this time a search party arrived at Trouty, and Ship Cove, looking for missing men. Just as they were leaving Ireland's Eye a boat was met with five men on board coming from Deer Harbour. Three boats had reached there on Saturday and two men of the number had died before landing."
The story of suffering and death told by the survivors who reached there, was the saddest of all the tales, and the poor fellows who told it wept like children. On Monday the bodies of the men who were landed at Thoroughfare, and Ireland's Eye were brought to Trouty, and from thence conveyed to their homes.
Although the events recorded above happened on Saturday, no one in the town of Trinity, or surrounding area, was aware that such a terrible loss of life had occurred until Sunday afternoon. Great anxiety had been felt all Saturday night for some of the men who were not, but, as many had landed in safety, it was hoped the others had escaped with a "drubbing" only, and had reached harbour further up the shore.
Early on Sunday, however, intelligence was received of some of the events noted above, and throughout the day other stories were brought from near by places, each as it became known, increasing the magnitude, and horror of the disaster. by Sunday afternoon it was known that out of two hundred men and boys who were caught in the story, eleven deaths had occurred and nearly forty were still missing.
A private telegraphic message received for English Harbour late on Saturday night became known on Sunday afternoon. It told of the safe arrival at Old Perlican of one of the missing crews. That little missive was hailed ass a message of hope for others of the missing.
When the Telegraph Office at Trinity was opened on Monday morning, numerous anxious enquirers thronged to doors, countless messages were dispatched to, and received from, all parts of the country. The news of the disaster spread like wildfire. Early in the day a message from Heart's Content stated that about twenty men and boys had landed at Heart's Delight, and vicinity. Words fail to describe the cheering effect of that message. Despairing faces again looked cheerful, and other heart broken sufferers still having dear ones missing, were filled with hope for their safety. The number missing on Monday night, counted thirteen men, and boys. Nothing more was heard until Tuesday morning, when the schooner "Rosscleer", Captain Richard Fowlow, which had been searching the Bay since Sunday returned to Trinity. The Captain's report was soon known, sixteen of the men who had landed on the South Shore of the Bay were on board, also the bodies of John Nurse, and Solomon Penny, which were picked up on Sunday, in their boat, off Scilly Cove, both bodies were under the thwarts of the boat, and it appears as if the poor fellows rowed until they became exhausted and then laid down to die. The number of missing was now reduced to eleven, - the death roll contained thirteen names.
From Patrick Hanlan, one of the men who landed at Heart's Delight, came the following account of their hair-breadth escape.
Mr. Hanlan said, "I was out in the Bay on Saturday, with my three sons, when the squall of wind struck us we were half way between Horse Chops, and Hart Point on the South shore. We put up our sail, and lay as close to the wind as possible, so as to get a distance in the Bay in case the wind would come further off-shore. The spray was continually coming over us, and freezing, and we soon knew that it was impossible to reach land on the North Side of the Bay without running the risk of freezing to death. After a time, we gave her a little sheet, and ran for ice, we got out on the ice and made a fire to get something to eat, and drink. Just as we were doing this a sea broke over the pan of ice, and washed everything away. We had to jump in our boat and run before the gale, until about four o'clock in the afternoon, when we sighted some more boats in the ice, just before dark we reached the other boats. There were four boats, and twelve men when we got there.
"We all hauled up our boats on a large pan of ice, we turned up the larger boats to make a shelter from the wind, and made in a fire.
"I had two seals in my boat, and we pelted them to burn the fat, and we broke up one of the smaller boats for fuel. We were on the ice all night, and drifting up the Bay. It was bitterly cold in spite of the big fire, and we were dancing, and jumping around, all night to keep up our spirits, and to keep from freezing to death.
"At dawn we were about five miles from land off Heart's Delight. We hauled our boats over some ice, and then rowed for land which we reached around nine a.m. The people treated us with wonderful kindness, doing all in their power to relieve us. None of us were badly frozen. William Ivany of English Harbour, and his three sons landed a little further up the bay four o'clock in the evening. They had been on the ice all night without fire and had to be hauled ashore in a dory. They were rescued by men from Heart's Delight, who ricked their own lives to get the men ashore. One of the men was badly frozen, but all were doing well when we left. They could not get to where Captain Fowlow took us on board, and it was impossible for the schooner to get to land or remain any longer where she was, as the ice was making fast. We all wish to thank the good people of Heart's Delight for the kindly attention they gave us. Under Providence they saved our lives, and we shall never forget their kindness to us - strangers in a strange place."
Captain Richard Fowlow's gallant deed was feelingly mentioned to by Mr. Hanlan and he desired to thanks of the rescue to be publicly conveyed to Captain Fowlow. Indeed, the thanks of the whole Community, nay, the thanks of the whole Country, are due to this noble man, and his crew. At the risk of losing his schooner his brave man, and his hardy crew scoured the Bay in search of missing men, and they should never be forgotten. The Ireland's Eye and Heart's Delight men, too, deserve commendation. Their promptness it was, in going to the assistance of their suffering fellow creatures, that saved a number of lives.
Promptly after hearing of the disaster the Government despatched the S.S. Ingraham to search the bay for missing men, but, owing to the heavy ice in the bay, she had to give up the search, and return to St. John's.
A more powerful steamer, the S.S. Labrador, with Dr. Pike on board, was then dispatched, and after thirty hours were spent in an unsuccessful attempt to force a passage through the heavy ice, she too was obliged to return to St. John's.
Search parties from the shore at the Head of the Bay, was out, for many hours, still no trace of the missing men.
****The names of the dead are: - Solomon Penny, of Wm., John Nurse, of Wm., belonging to Green Bay; Martin Batson, of Geo., Tobias Penny, of Robt., James Penny, of Robt., Edward Pottle and William Barnes, belonging to English Harbour - John Penny, of Charles, Charles Day, of Samuel, belonging to Salmon Cove West; Wm. Stockly and Isaac J. Butler, belonging to Robin Hood; Robert Bannister, and Charles Bannister of Ship Cove.
The names of the Missing Men are: Isaac John Batson, William Batson, of Richard; Arthur Batson, or (sic) Richard; and Reuben Pottle of English Hr. - Charles Nurse, William Nurse, Henry Nurse and George Nurse (all sons of William Nurse) of Salmon Cove; John Moore, George Moore and Jacob Moore of Trinity (South).
Upon the town of Trinity, and surrounding places, where all the dead and missing men were well known, this castrophe (catastrophe) had a terrible crushing effect. In several cases every male member of the family was gone. Now that the first bitter pangs of the loss are over, the burden of life must be taken up again. Some of the deceased left behind them helpless widows, and children, aged Fathers and Mothers, for whom some provision will have to be made. A subscription list opened in St. John's, headed by His Excellency the Governor. Throughout the entire country, a wonderful feeling of sympathy had been manifested for the sufferers.
The House of Assembly adjourned from Monday until Thursday. His Excellency the Governor, who was giving dinner at Government House, postponed the event, as a mark of Sympathy. Messages of condolence, and sympathy, flashed from all over the world. On Wednesday, March 2, 1892 "Her Most Gracious Majesty The Queen Victoria" who is ever in sympathy with all of her suffering subjects, throughout Her Vast Empire, telegraphed through, Lord Knutsford, a message of condolence, and asked for full particulars of the disaster.
These tokens of sympathy, coming at a time when the heart is crushed, and broken, when even life seems hardly worth keeping, have been wonderfully cheering, and gratefully received.
The "RECORD", the weekly newspaper, printed and published in TRINITY, and dated March 5, 1892, from its pages, this account of the disaster is rewritten - says. We, too beg to tender the Heart-felt sympathy of Management and staff of the "RECORD" to the bereaved; commending them, with all sincerity, to the care and guidance of the all-pitying Heavenly Father.
"It took the sea a thousand years,
A thousand years to trace
The granite features on this cliff,
In crag, and scarp and base
It took the sea one hour one night,
An hour of storm to place
The sculpture of those granite seams
Upon a woman's face."

from History, a column in The Sunday Express, by Don Morris, March 6, 1988, page 27
The Angel of Death Rode on Icy Blasts
Newfoundland mourned the death of 25 men and boys in violent storm 96 years ago
The last of the dead were still being interred 96 years ago today in little graveyards of some fishing hamlets fringing the north shore of Trinity Bay.
It was barely a week after the great storm which, with swift and surprising suddenness, had frostily descended to claim 25 lives from among groups of men and boys who had hurriedly put to sea in small boats to harvest large herds of seals brought, somewhat freakishly for that time of year, alluringly close to land.
The doorstep bonanza had to be reaped for the sake of family larders and many who went after it were scantily-clad and without adequate provisions; encouraged to launch upon a deceptively placid bay in unusually temperate weather and under fair but fickle skies.
Day Of Infamy
However, that mild-mannered Saturday morning was later to change into a day of infamy. The totally unexpected Angel of Death rode in on the icy blasts of unforeseen tempest and throughout the ensuing Sabbath window blinds of many dwellings in half a dozen or more villages were mournfully drawn in bereavement for those lost through nature's carnage.
The event, notorious in our chronicles as the Trinity Bay Disaster of Feb 27th, 1892, plunged all Newfoundland into shock and disbelief at the widespread extent of casualties. News of the disaster's extreme proportions was telegraphed to the North American Continent and to Europe. In England Queen Victoria sent a message of condolence to her oldest overseas colony.
Ancient Trinity, justifiably esteemed as the capital of the bay. had is won newspaper, The Weekly Record. An edition was rushed out reporting the latest but painfully distressing details which could be gleaned up to its urgent press deadline. Each page of the four-sheet journal was heavily black-bordered, with conspicuous black bars separating each column of hard set type throughout.
Wrote the sorrowing editor, C. C. Webber:
"This week has brought to our town and the neighbouring settlements a terrible calamity, and it is our painful duty to record what has proved the direst catastrophe ever known in the history of Trinity, - surpassing, as it does in point of individual and general suffering, hair-breath escapes, heartrending tales and scenes unlike anything ever heard of by the oldest residents."
Harrowing Tale
The black-edged March 5 edition of the newspaper and subsequent issues told the full, harrowing story, how groups of sealers, totalling about 200 in all, started the hunt just after dawn. But before the day ended 25 at least were dead from exposure and many other terribly frostbitten.
All went well until about 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 27. The reports of sealing guns echoed across the water as the men and boys took seals. Suddenly a gale, accompanied by intense cold, came from the north northeast. With the rising wind the sea was lashed into foam. Some of the boats were miles off land and the sealers found it impossible to return to their landing stages because to do so they would have to row into the teeth of the howling gale.
Some of the crews, however, were not far off the Horse Chops and they began a life and death struggle at the oars to reach that point of land. These crews were from Robin Hood (now Port Rexton) and Salmon Cove (now Champneys) and from English Harbour. Other crews in different parts of the bay made their own decisions on what point of land to head for as the wind blew harder and the frost became more intense.
Death By Exposure
Six boats in one spaced-out cluster, headed for the Horse Chops. Ocean spray rained down on them and turned to ice on their clothing. One crew lost their oars and were in the greatest peril of being swamped when another boat managed to take the four occupants aboard. With eight persons aboard the small craft, the danger of foundering was imminent. One man died from exposure and to lessen the load his body was placed in the water. Not long after another man succumbed to exposure and he, too, a brother of the first victim, was committed to a watery grave.
After five hours of incredibly hard rowing the first of the boats reached the Horse Chops. Some of the men were so exhausted and numb with cold that they could not get out of their craft. Among those who witnessed the pitiful flotilla struggling to reach safety was John Butler of Robin Hood. He was visiting English Harbour at the time and when the storm broke he hurried to the cliffs to see if any of the boats were coming in.
On his way to the Horse Chops, he met Robert Penney and Robert Ivany, both of English Harbour, bent on the same mission. The trio continued on to the vantage point. Butler related afterward:
"We waited for half an hour, but saw no sign of boats, and then we made a fire of some brushwood. I went to the edge of the cliff again and I saw Henry Batson's boat coming slowly shoreward, the men in her hardly able to make a stroke with their oars. Looking down the cliff I saw that several other boats had landed in the cove, and I saw my brother, Alexander, trying to get William Stockley up the hill.
"I also saw my nephew, James Butler. He was in poor condition. I ran down and took him on my back and after a while we got to the top and near the fire. Penney and Ivany were also working hard to get men up the steep gulch. All the men who landed were covered with ice and hardly able to move. Two died before landing and four died after landing, two of them near the fire and two down the hill. Robert Bannister managed to get partly up the hill, but now he was on his hands and knees and unable to move. He just mutter 'God bless us' and he died. His son had died just before."
Stark Dramas
While that stark drama of life and death was taking place at the Horse Chops, others of a similar nature were taking place in other parts of the bay. Exhausted and ice-encrusted crews landed at Trouty, Bonventure, Ireland's Eye, Thoroughfare, Deer Harbour and other settlements. Some of the boats bore stiffened corpses of men and boys.
Many men from scattered settlements who didn't participate in the hunt put to sea in small boats similar to those which were caught in hurricane-force sleet storm. They knew well their launching posed great risk to their own lives as the sea ran mountainously high. But the off-shore islands had to be searched for any survivors. Some were found and brought to safety.
Steamers on the bay also hastened into the search and rescue operations. Because of this, some sealers barely cheated death. That was the fate of other hunters who expired just before the rescuers arrived.
It wasn't until Sunday, the day after the great tempest, when the full, dreadful consequences of the gales's wrath hit home to the people of Trinity Bay. It would be a nightmare for many to remember for the rest of their days. All was not well with some of the survivors. Amputations because of frostbite and other surgery was necessary. Careful medical vigilance became part of the lives of a number of Trinity Baymen who lived through the ordeal.
All Newfoundland went into mourning when tidings of the disaster came. Special church services were held throughout the islands and messages of sympathy poured in from all over the world. A fund, spear-headed by the governor, was started for the widows and orphans and the parents of those who lost able-bodied young men, some the sole support of the household.
As a marine-bred people, used to the give and the take of the sea, the population responded quickly and liberally to the fund appeal as they had done so many times in the past when the grey, ambivalent North Atlantic choose to extract its human toll.

NB: During the 1841 census the practice of wives retaining their birth surname is common throughout the whole of Scotland but more so in the highlands. This practice stems from the times of heavy interaction between Scotland and France. Even after the time when it became accepted for the woman to take and be known by her husband's surname, once the husband died, the widow then reverted back to using her maiden surname. Consequently, most early to mid-19th century burials of widows are under their maiden surname.

3. INDEX TO IOSCO COUNTY MICHIGAN NEWSPAPERS (obituaries): 1978-1990s November 23 1992 Introduction Copyright ª1992 by the Huron Shores Genealogical Society. This booklet was published by the Huron Shore Genealogical Society (HSGS), c/o Robert J Parks Public Library, 6010 N Skeel Ave, Oscoda MI 48750. Listed below is an index of about 2,200 obituaries from Iosco County Michigan newspapers from 1978-1993. This index is an on going project, and will be updated each few months with an supplement containing all entries since the basic index was produced on Nov 23 1992. The index was prepared from an existing 3x5 card obituary file, which was put together over the past several years by the Huron Shore Genealogical Society members, especially Shirley Smith and John Austin. The index is available to the public. However the 3x5 card file of obituaries is not open to the public because experience in other genealogical societies indicates that with unsupervised use the file is soon out of order, but more seriously is that obituaries have actually been taken from the file and not returned. Format of Volume 1 is: (1) name; (2) birth date or age, death date, veteran information; (3) newspaper reference shown in parenthesis, eg (Press 6/19/1991 p1c4) indicates The Oscoda Press dated June 19 1991 page 1 column 4. Format of Volume 2 is: (1) name; (2) birth date or age and death date; (3) newspaper name, date, reference; (4) Veteran information. The newspapers used are: Herald = The Iosco County News Herald Press = The Oscoda Press NS = Newspaper not specified. Other Newspapers = These are spelled out completely. A copy of this booklet is available for $15.00 if picked up, add $3.20 if mailed. A copy of an obituary is available, a photocopy or a typewritten transcription, for $3.00, post paid. Orders. Send your order, and a check payable to the Huron Shore Genealogical Society, to the compiler shown below. Compiler: Alonzo J Sherman, 308 W Dwight St, Oscoda MI 48750, 517-739-3650, .

XII.—BREWERS' QUAY
(A) CLARE'S QUAY
In 1352, by a document already referred to, (fn. 1) Ralph Campion, executor of Amice, widow of John Palmer, shipwright, grants to Sir John Philip, rector of St. Faith, a tenement with a quay which John Palmer had in Petty Wales, lying between the tenement of Thomas of Snettisham (Stew Quay) on the west, and the tenement once of Peter Talworth (the "Ram's Head") on the east. In 1368 Salamon Brownyng is given as occupying this property east of Stew Quay, (fn. 2) and in 1398 the joint owners of the latter are parties to a document which appears to concern Clare's Quay itself: (fn. 3) John Andrew, vintner, and Margaret his wife surrender to Margery Brounyng, widow (these were the two daughters of Snettisham), all their tenements in Petty Wales lying between the tenement of Richard Brownyng (the "Ram's Head") on the east, and the tenement of John Andrew and the wharf of Margery Brounyng (Stew Quay) on the west, which tenement they had jointly by gift of John Wawyn, chaplain, and Richard Pickenham, son of Walter Pickenham, skinner. Margery Browning seems to have disposed of this property before the sale of Stew Quay in 1415, (fn. 4) when the eastern neighbour of the latter is given as Robert Purfoot, a name that occurs again, as west of the "Ram's Head" in 1494. (fn. 5)
The name of the quay occurs first in a quitclaim (fn. 6) of 1525 from Humphrey Gay, son of Christopher Gay, son of Thomas Gay and Alice his wife, to Nicholas Jenyns, skinner, and others of a messuage and quay called Clare's Quay … lying between the brewhouse of Nicholas Jenyns on the east (the "Ram's Head") and the Stew Quay on the west. Again in 1566 it occurs in a quitclaim from John Lewys and Joan his wife to Thomas Wylson, yeoman, (fn. 7) and in the same year Wylson sells to Roger James, brewer, the wharf called Clare's Quay and house thereon late in the occupation of Elizabeth Alderton and now in the tenure of Thomas Edwards, bounded on the north by Petty Wales, on the east by the brewhouse of Thomas Pyke called the "Rammes Head," and on the west by the house and wharf of Edward Jeffery, tallow chandler (Stew Quay). (fn. 8) But at some time in this year it appears that part of Clare's Quay was occupied by Randall Hayward, who was west of the "Ram's Head." (fn. 9) Another tenement, presumably on Clare's Wharf, or part of the property that went with it, is the subject of a quitclaim, in 1570, of William Kime, gent., and Elizabeth his wife, to Roger James, for it was formerly in the tenure of William Jenyns, deceased, and was then divided into two small tenements occupied by Widow Gamon, Peers Rowlands, sailor, and Thomas Camfill, cobbler. (fn. 10)
In the later history of the site we shall find that the first quay (the successor of "Clare's Key") west of Tower Dock became known as Brewers' Quay.

King's Arms
The Square
The pub we know as “The Kings Arms” faces St Mary’s Church in Elham’s
former market square. Market rights were accorded in 1251 by King Edward I,
and the weekly market and various official and unofficial fairs held throughout the year made
Elham the main centre of trade between the city of Canterbury and the port of Hythe. It seems that
this ancient Church Ale House, together with the other inns, The Rose and Crown, The Smithies
Arms (now the Abbott’s Fireside) The Five Bells, The Chequer, The Crown and The New Inn,
existed to serve the market trade.
This has been an inn for over 400 years, and thus is older even than the Abbot's Fireside. It was formerly known as the 'Cock' inn, in the days when cock fighting took place in premises at the rear. Even earlier references allude to it as the 'Church Ale House'. The building on the Square, and a long wing at the rear are timber-framed and most attractive inside. The front once had an overhang, but this has been underbuilt in brick, and the upper floor tile hung. New windows, and a modern porch have also been added, but the coach entrance and yard still remain. The main framework dates from the 16th century. Elham Study
1605 October 9th.
