Minnie Paterson (died 1911) was a Canadian heroine noted for her rescue of men from the barkentine (barque) during a severe storm in 1906. Paterson was the wife of Tom Paterson, keeper of the Cape Beale Light near Bamfield, British Columbia. On December 6, 1906, Keeper Paterson spotted the crippled Coloma being battered by waves and 80 knot winds near shore. The telegraph line was broken, and the nearest hope was the lighthouse tender Quadra, six miles away on . While Tom kept watch over the Coloma, Minnie went to seek help.

  • Minnie Paterson (died 1911) was a Canadian heroine noted for her rescue of men from the barkentine (barque) during a severe storm in 1906. Paterson was the wife of Tom Paterson, keeper of the Cape Beale Light near Bamfield, British Columbia. On December 6, 1906, Keeper Paterson spotted the crippled Coloma being battered by waves and 80 knot winds near shore. The telegraph line was broken, and the nearest hope was the lighthouse tender Quadra, six miles away on . While Tom kept watch over the Coloma, Minnie went to seek help. To reach the Quadra, Mrs. Paterson had to wade through icy, waist-deep seawater and mud, over toppled trees, through rain and hail; four hours later she finally reached Bamfield, and with the aid of another keeper's wife, they rowed a skiff out to alert the crew of the Quadra. Minnie insisted on immediately returning on foot to the lighthouse so that the mother of five could nurse her youngest unweaned baby. The Quadra eventually came to aid the Coloma, putting out a longboat just as the barque was breaking up. All on board were saved. For her actions, Government of Canada presented Minnie with a gold watch and a silver plate along with a silver tea service from the Seattle Maritime Union. Five years after the wreck she developed tuberculosis and died, her health permanently weakened by her heroic efforts. (en)
