Lloyd, Here's a more complete definition of "by-boats" from the Dictionary of Newfoundland English": by-boat n also bye-boat OED ~ obs (Nfld: 1698-1796), cp OED by a 2 fig 'away from the main purpose,' 'of secondary importance'; DC by(e)-boat Nfld (1806), by(e)-boat keeper (1765-1842). See also BOAT. 1 A fishing craft, usually undecked, of variable size, design and rig, owned and used in the inshore cod-fishery by men migrating annually as passengers to Newfoundland, the craft being left on the island on their return to the West Country of England. [1677] 1976 HEAD 78 By-boats. Besides the Inhabitants and the Adventurers, there are other Persons, that not being willing or able to buy a Share in the fishing ships hire Servants in the West of England and carry them as Passengers to Newfoundland where they employ them in private Boats to catch and cure fish, and after the Season is over bring them back to England, or permit them to take Service with the Planters, or on board the Ship. [1693] 1793 REEVES viii And be it further enacted ... That every master of a by-boat or by-boats shall carry with him at least two fresh men in six, (viz.) one man that hath made no more than one voyage, and one man who hath never been at sea before. [1714] 1895 PROWSE 274 Fishing ships 441, Boats 441, Bye-boats 133, Inhabitants Boats 362. 1956 FAY 43 The by-boat belonged to a merchant or fisherman in England, who employed a crew to operate his boat-the word 'by' may refer to its being laid 'by' for the winter, or to its being an 'extra' to the fishing ship. It represented a break from the fishing ship, inasmuch as the merchant concerned came out independently of the ship or bought his passage and worked with the crew during the season. At first the crews returned to their home base at the end of the fishing season, but increasingly they remained in the island and became resident fishermen.

Tizzard who was the first person that ever drove a nail at Twillingate, or settled here as an Englishman, which was in the year 1732, he tells me that Fogo was settled 3 or 4 years sooner and that he has known that part of NL for 40 years, and that he never knew a French boat or ship to the southward of Cape John--which is 14 leagues NNW from Twillingate, and the nearest place that he ever knew a French boat was at a harbour 2 leagues north of St. John called D�luce.

Today I had reason to review Gerald Andrews� 1997 book titled �Heritage of a Newfoundland Outport� and decided to share this information with you good folks who have been so helpful to me. page2-4...quote� The existance of this original European fishery in Conception Bay is forever enshrined in its place names of French, Portuguese and Spanish origin: Portugal Cove, Spaniard�s Bay, Bay de Verde, Cape St. Francis, Port de Grave, Carbonear, Harbour Grace (Harve de Grace) and Baccalieu. Among those first fishermen were two French speaking groups, one from France, the other Jerseymen from the Channel Islands, a people of Norman stock. Both produced a grade of cod called �ordinary cure� which necessitated taking the fish on shore and drying it somewhat on the beaches before the trip back home. One of the interbays on the west side of Conception Bay with its numerous beaches was especially suitable for making �ordinary cure�. These beaches were located at present day Cupids, Bareneed, Port de Grave, Ship Cove and Salmon Cove. Indeed the whole bottom section of the interbay was a beach and still locally referred to as �The Beach� (Clarkes Beach). In time, the baylet became primarily associated with its beaches as a favoured site for curing fish and was named �Graves�, the French term for �shingley or pebbly beach�. This interbay is now called Bay de Grave. 1669...The name Graves first appeared on Robinson�s Newfoundland map of 1669. On all subsequent maps and documents the generic �Port� was added: 1675...Port Grave 1677...Porta Grave 1697..Port-Grave 1705....Portegrave 1751...Port o� Grave 1770-1830...In 1770, when Captain James Cook published his Newfoundland map, he distinguished the bay from the Harbour for the first time by naming the interbay Bay de Grave, and the Harbour--Port de Grave. The de� was not an original part of the name but crept in linguistically. Thus, in its present form, the name Port de Grave can be translated �port of beaches�. Actually the name is very descriptive of the Port de Grave harbour which, before recent harbour and road developments, had its perimeter almost entirely defined by six beaches: Hussey�s Cove Beach, Main Beach, Snow�s Beach, The Beach, Angle Beach and the Island Beach, on the inner part of the main island. In spite of the clarification made by Cook in 1770, historical records for the next 60 years documented places in the interbay as being in Port de Grave. There are numerous written references to South Side-Port de Grave, Salmon Cove-Port de Grave, Southern Gut-Port de Grave, Northern Gut-Port de Grave and Bareneed-Port de Grave Cupids was always distinguished as a separate community. 1775...Pt. Grave 1805....In an 1805 official survey of Conception Bay fishing rooms, all the properties in South River, Salmon Cove and Bareneed were recorded as being in Port de Grave 1836-1850�s....Even the first Newfoundland government census of 1836 did not distinguish Bareneed from Port de Grave. Not until the middle 1800�s did other communities in the area become official separate entities and Port de Grave referred only to the outer half of the peninsula. 1845...The name Clarkes Beach came into use about 1845. lghr note: from the maps on page 3, 42 & 43 the following places are recorded.... Bakers Island, Burnt Head, Darbys Arm, Daniels Hole, Dawes Head, Greenland, Lears Cove, North East Cove, Pick Eyes, The Ponds, Skanes Cove. Solomon Earl�s Cove, ( lghr: note kinda like Cole Lee�s Point aka Cold East Point and now Coley�s Point ??) Back Cove, Upper Back Cove, Merchant sites recorded on page 53 map: 1755-1807...Newmans 1780-1821...Baine Johnston 1783-1840...Pinsents 1801-1811...Cooke & Travers 1802-1812...MacPherson and Patten 1807-1836...Furneaux 1811-1817...Brown, Hoyles & Co. 1812-1816....Alexander Graham & Co. 1816-1820...Graham MacNicholl & Co. 1821-1844...Marten and Jacob 1824-1837...Robert Prowse 1844-1866....John Wilcox 1854-1902...Henry Dawe Trivia Question: One interperter, who accompanied Lewis and Clark in 1804, was said to be from Sandwich, Canada. What is the present day name for that place? Capt. James Cook named three distant places on the globe Sandwich Islands. ===== "Seek and ye shall find all your ancestors who wanted to be identified and remembered.".... lghr Oct.18, 2003 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
