DCHP-1

sunker Nfld

n. See 1962 quote.
- 1923 (1955) We'll rant and we'll roar like true Newfoundlanders,
  We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below,
  Until we see bottom inside the two sunkers,
  When straight up through the channel to Toslow we'll go.
- 1962 This was not the main entrance but a shortcut or "inside" passage full of sunkers (as reefs and shoal rocks are called in Newfoundland).
