CFRA's Andrew Pinsent digs deeper into the backstories of popular Canadian historical events, landmarks, and figures. Chiming in with his expert analysis every single Sunday is Craig Baird of Canadian History EHX. This week, we examine the life of Tom Sukanen, a Finnish-born Canadian sailor who immigrated to Minnesota when he was 20 years old. However, things turned tragic during The Great Depression when Tom tried to build an ‘ocean ship’, an attempt that cost him his life.
