Born in a castle while in a post-war Estonian displaced persons camp in Europe, Elle Andra-Warner lived for a time in England, then came to Canada with her parents in the 1950s, settling on the Lake Superior Shoreline in Port Arthur, Ontario (now part of the city of Thunder Bay). The sounds and sights of Lake Freighters–like the Edmund Fitzgerald–were an everyday part of her Canadian childhood.
