Today, 1st August, we not only celebrate the anniversary of our Emancipation in 1834, but we must also remember those 233 men, women and children who perished in the MV Christena Disaster on 1st August 1970.
As the only medical doctor stationed in Nevis at that time, I still have vivid memories of that tragic day, as I tended to survivors at the Alexandra Hospital.
Let us spare a moment to pray for the families of those souls we lost, as well as for the survivors of that tragedy; that God may continue to provide them all with His peace, healing and comfort.
