Travelling across the ocean as a vampire in 1898 was not easy. Sophie Anne hibernated in a reinforced coffin and hoped her bribes would deter nosy crew members. When the SS La Bourgogne sank off the coast of Nova Scotia on July 4, that reinforced coffin became a watery tomb. After 119 years, Sophie Anne finally emerged from the Atlantic to start her life anew in this modern world. #vampires, #history, #moderncity
