1942 tragedy

In the predawn hours of February 18, 1942, three United States Navy ships ran aground on the shore of the Burin Peninsula between Lawn and the nearby community of St. Lawrence. It was determined that the USS "Pollux", USS "Truxtun" and USS "Wilkes" made a navigation error while enroute to Naval Station Argentia. Eight residents of Lawn assisted in the rescue of survivors. 185 sailors survived and 203 died as a result of the disaster.
