Marie Vifquain was married to Charles J. Vifquain, the Dawson agent for the White Pass & Yukon Route. She was travelling home to Vancouver after visiting her husband. She and her five-year-old daughter Charlotte Joy drowned when the Princess Sophia sank in the Lynn Canal. Mr. Vifquain was to travel south to join them in December.1) John Zaccarelli had purchased a ticket on a steamer south along the British Columbia coast, but he traded his ticket to a lawyer named Austin Fraser so he could travel with his sister and niece. All of the passengers and crew died when the SS Princess Sophia sank in October 1918 after being stuck on Vanderbuilt Reef in the Lynn Canal. Austin Fraser was spared this fate only to die two weeks later of the Spanish flu.2)
