Tragedy befalls the 1924 Pottahawk Piss-up festivities after the entire Hamilton Swim Club foolishly decide to try swimming the distance to Pottahawk......from Hamilton.
They drowned in the Welland Canal.
Also the weight of the beer they were carrying didn't help their buoyancy. It was noted the men were all very intoxicated.
The tearful mother of deceased captain Skip Peabody was quoted as saying, "At least my son died with a smile on his face doing what he loved best- serving his teammates."
