Conclusion of transcribed tidbits of info. about beautiful "Labrador", mainland of our Province, "Newfoundland and Labrador". HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED THE TOUR! Labrador Coastal Boats Part 1: Charlottetown-Norman Bay-Pinsent Arm-Williams Harbour There's a mix of permanent communities and summer fishing stations along this part of the coast. The coastal boat stops at the four permanent settlements. The fishing stations were places where fishermen from Newfoundland, who couldn't get a fishing berth (a place to fish) along the coast where they lived, went north in summer to catch and salt cod. Sometimes the whole family went along and lived aboard the family's boat, or built summer quarters next to the flakes where fish was cured. This was called the floater fishery and it lasted for more than two centuries, declining only in the 1980s. Over time some of the floaters stayed and became livyers - people who live in a place year round. >From Charlottetown you can catch the coastal boat north to Norman Bay. This used to be a wintering station for people from the nearby coast until the 1960s. One family resisted efforts to have them resettle to larger communities, and they were eventually joined by a few others, who kept the tiny village alive, commuting to Charlottetown for supplies by speedboat when the water was free of ice, and via snowmobile in winter. Now they can take the coastal boat during the shipping season. Pinsent Arm is about 20 kilometres southeast of Charlottetown, and although it was a winter residence for some stationers on and off from the 1860s onward, it was permanently settled only in the 1950s, and was electrified only in 1985 when a diesel generator was installed. Williams Harbour is south of Pinsent Arm and 35 km east of Port Hope Simpson. This is another community whose status has changed from summer fishing station to permanent settlement. Migratory fishermen from England first fished here in the 1700s, and the harbour was settled in the 1840s, declining and increasing with the fortunes of the fishery. The establishment of a fish plant in the late 1970s persuaded residents to abandon their winter place at nearby Rexon's Cove and move to Williams Harbour permanently. Part 2: Cartwright to Happy Valley-Goose Bay The ferry from Cartwright to Happy Valley-Goose Bay traverses the narrow waterway of Hamilton Inlet that connects the ocean to Lake Melville. It was probably here that Norse rovers Thorvald Eiriksson and Thorfinn Karlsefni landed on their journey westward to undiscovered lands. Some people believe that the Lake Melville area was the Markland - the Land of Forests - of the Viking sagas. Eiriksson's description of a river that flowed east to west fits the English River which flows into the south side of Lake Melville. The ferry ride takes about 12 hours and is a good opportunity to do some shipboard bird-watching. Among the birds you might see from on deck are Razorbill, Black Guillemot, Atlantic Puffin, Northern Gannet, Red-necked Phalarope, Great Black-Backed Gull, Black-Legged Kittiwake, Jaegers, Arctic Tern, and Common Murre. >From the mouth of Hamilton Inlet on Groswater Bay it's 240 km to the head of Lake Melville at Happy Valley-Goose Bay. At its narrowest the inlet is only two or three kilometres wide, but then opens into Lake Melville, a salt water lake that's also the drainage basin for the Churchill and other rivers. Aboriginal people were living here when Europeans began exploring in the 16th century, and after a period of initial conflict, a fur trading relationship was established. A fishery developed in the 19th century, and in 1898 a regular coastal boat service was established between Newfoundland and Lake Melville Part 3: The North Coast Happy Valley-Goose Bay is the home port for the coastal steamer service along the rugged north coast. Reservations for this trip must be made in advance, as only a limited number of berths are available. Most people who use the coastal boat are residents, and the vessel also brings cargo to half a dozen isolated and widely separated communities north to Nain. The first stop is on the shores of Hamilton Inlet at Rigolet, a community with a long - and continuing - history of fur trapping and fishing. This small town was a fur trading centre, first for the French and later the English, starting in the eighteenth century. The Hudson Bay Company took over the post in 1836. Except for a brief period during World War II when this was the site of a Canadian Army Base, life has not changed here for two centuries. In fact, the Blakes, Olivers, Groves, Shepards and other families trace their arrival in Rigolet to before 1800 and can tell visitors how their ancestors lived. Just ask. The town is also well-known for various craft items made from a special grass that grows in the area. The coastal boat now takes a southern detour to Cartwright and Black Tickle before heading north. Black Tickle, on Island of Ponds, is a year-round settlement and a fishing community. It was founded in the mid-19th century by a group of British naval seamen who jumped ship. Some of the winter residents are stationers who go fishing elsewhere on the coast in summer. The boat stops again at Cartwright before heading for the north coast. Makkovik was first settled in the early part of the 19th century by a Norwegian fur trader, Torsten Andersen, and his Labrador wife, Mary Thomas. By 1896, the settlement had grown enough for the Moravian Missions to build a church complex that was in use until 1948. Life here has not changed significantly through the centuries. The people still fish and hunt and carry on many aspects of their traditional culture. At the retail outlet you will be able to purchase duffle parkas, mittens and slippers as well as bone jewellery, antler buttons and other fine examples of native crafts. Just north of Makkovik, at the head of Kaipokok Bay is Postville. While this small town began its life as a fur trading post in 1843 and a Quebec merchant, D.R. Stewart, is listed as its first settler, people have been coming to Postville for thousands of years. The Dorset Eskimo, who lived along this coast almost 4,000 years ago, came here every spring to fish and to hunt. Further up the coast at Hopedale you can visit the Hopedale Mission, the oldest wooden frame building east of Quebec. This structure, now a National Historic Site, includes a church, a store, a residence for missionaries, a storehouse and several small huts that were used to house the visiting native people. It has stood on this site since 1782 when the Moravian Church was granted permission by the British Government to establish a mission in this remote community. The Innu who have lived at Davis Inlet since the 1960s are now moving to a completely new community 15 kilometres away on Sango Bay called Natuashish. The move is expected to be completed in the spring of 2003. After calling at Sango Bay, the boat heads for Voisey's Bay where a huge nickel deposit is being developed. The northernmost community - and the last stop for the coastal boat - is Nain where a Moravian Mission was established in 1771. Craftsmen in this community are justifiably famous for their soapstone carvings. Long-abandoned Hebron was once one of the most northerly communities on the north Labrador coast. A Moravian Mission station was constructed here from 1829 to 1831 but the main buildings - the church, the mission house and the store - were not inhabited until 1837. The station was abandoned in 1959 but, since that time, the structure has been stabilized. Visitors are invited to tour this National Historic Site. You'll have to make arrangements with a local outfitter for a boat trip to Hebron or other northern areas. At the very tip of Labrador you will marvel at such sights as the stark and ruggedly beautiful Torngat Mountains. The northern tundra region and the mountains of the Torngat Ranges regularly attract experienced naturalists and mountain climbers of international acclaim. If you have the skill and the spirit, this is the vacation for you. A new national park reserve is being established in this area and should be in service in five years. You can also reach coastal Labrador by regularly scheduled air service or air charter. Conclusion of this tour.

Those who come this way will find an outdoor lover's paradise. There are thousands of pristine lakes teeming with trout, hundreds of rivers that will test your boating skills and kilometre after kilometre of forests and barren ground filled with game. Labrador has an area of 293,347 square kilometres and a population of only about 30,000 permanent residents. Only recently have western and central Labrador become accessible to motor vehicles. Every year, as the road system is expanded, more and more of this wild and wonderful part of the world is opened up. It is now possible to drive from Baie Comeau in Quebec to Labrador City and Wabush in western Labrador, then drive across Labrador to Happy Valley-Goose Bay, take a ferry to Cartwright, drive south 411 km to Blanc Sablon, take the ferry from there to St. Barbe on Newfoundland's northwest coast, and then take a ferry from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia. To begin this adventure, take partially paved Quebec Route 389 from Baie Comeau on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River and drive 581 kilometres through some incredibly beautiful countryside, passing through the Quebec communities of Manic V and Fermont, and into Labrador. The drive takes about 8.5 hours. You can also take a train from Sept Isles, Quebec, Labrador City/Wabush. This train is owned by the Iron Ore Company of Canada and primarily hauls iron ore pellets. Western Labrador is known for its mining. The largest open-pit iron ore mining, concentrate and pelletizing mineral operation in North America is located at Labrador City, the heart of industrial Labrador. Since 1958, Labrador City and Wabush have grown from work camps to modern towns with many services and amenities usually found in much larger centres. Labrador West offers visitors excellent summer sports and outdoor recreational activities which include some of the world's best angling. The Labrador City/Wabush area has facilities that attract curlers and golfers from all over. This part of Labrador also provides serious ski buffs with unparalleled downhill and cross-country action. The Smokey Mountain Alpine Ski Club and the Menihek Nordic Ski Club offer facilities that will please everyone from beginners to experts. The Nordic Ski Club is a world-class facility that has twice hosted World Cup events. A major attraction every March is the Labrador 125 International Sled Dog Race. Although only a few years old, this annual event has rapidly developed a reputation as a challenge for even experienced mushers who have competed in the Iditarod and other races in northern Canada and Alaska. Another recent addition to winter fun is the annual snowmobile festival sponsored by the White Wolf Snowmobile Club. This large club has trail groomers making trails all over the area, taking riders out into the wilderness to enjoy the scenery and, most years, to look at the world's largest caribou herd. This Quebec-Labrador herd migrates across provincial boundaries each year - hence its name - and numbers about 450,000 animals. In Labrador West, an adventure holiday is available with all the comforts of home. Duley Lake Family Park about 10 km from Labrador City, is a great place to stay if you really want to get a feel for the outdoors. This 75-site camping park has swimming, boating, picnic facilities and an excellent sandy beach. A second camping facility is Grande Hermine Wilderness Park located 33 km from Wabush/Labrador City on the Trans-Labrador Highway (Route 500), has 75 landscaped sites with water hookups, as well as a beach, picnic facilities and boat rentals. Visitors will love the natural beauty of this park with its caribou moss, glacial eskers and erratics. Route 500 is called The Freedom Road because it frees Labradorians to drive to larger centres and other provinces. For decades they were restricted to air, ferry or train travel because there were no roads out of Labrador. But the Freedom Road is no superhighway. From Labrador West to Churchill Falls it's 238 km of good gravel road. Average driving time is about three hours. The road between Churchill Falls and Happy Valley-Goose Bay has now been upgraded. It will take you an average of four to five hours to cover the 288 kilometres. At Churchill Falls there is a modern town with services, accommodations and some very interesting attractions to visit. The community was built around one of the wonders of the modern world. At this point in its course, the waters of the Churchill River fall over 300 m in a 32-km section, which made it ideal for one of the world's largest hydroelectric generating stations. The water was diverted into underground facilities where the huge turbines produce 5,225 megawatts of power. Tours of this huge operation can be arranged at the town office. A lot has changed in Labrador since World War II. Happy Valley-Goose Bay was made a transatlantic aircraft ferry facility by the wartime governments of the United States, Canada and Great Britain. Military activity had been decreasing substantially since World War II, but in recent years American, British, German and Dutch Air Forces have used the area as a base for low-level flight training. Happy Valley-Goose Bay is the major distribution centre of goods for coastal Labrador and it is the location of government offices for the region. In late July or early August, Happy Valley-Goose Bay is the site of the annual German Hangar Fest, an opportunity to sample the food, music and culture of Germany in an event hosted by the German air force. In early March there's a winter carnival that's always a great deal of fun. It features all kinds of outdoor and indoor activities including snow-sculptures. Some say that this part of the world is at its best during the winter months. The country is spectacular and there's lots to do - ice-fishing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and tobogganing - just to name a few. Downhill enthusiasts will love the Snow Goose Mountain Ski Club with its long runs and great apres-ski hospitality, while the Birch Brook Nordic Club draws raves from cross-country enthusiasts. Two other communities accessible by road from Happy Valley-Goose Bay are Sheshatshui and North West River, the former International Grenfell Association headquarters for Labrador. This community was the home of Donald Smith (later Lord Strathcona), the Hudson Bay factor in Lake Melville who went on to become a driving force in the Company and earned distinction for his part as mediator in the Canadian Riel uprising. The present road through the community follows the horse trail Smith constructed to court his wife during Sunday afternoon carriage drives. Modern day North West River is home to the descendants of the English, French and Scots who first made a living here as hunters and trappers. Sheshatshui is home to the Montagnais Innu, descendants of Labrador's once nomadic interior caribou hunters. A passenger and car ferry operates from Happy Valley-Goose Bay to Cartwright on the Labrador coast from mid-June to mid-September. The trip takes approximately 12 hours. Since this is a new service that begins in 2003, there may be some variation in the starting date and trip duration. Keep an eye out for whales, seabirds and icebergs on this trip. Reservations are recommended. >From Cartwright a new gravel road heads south, first through the interior and then along the coast south of Charlottetown. The main road is Route 510, and there are side trips possible to Charlottetown on Route 514, and St. Lewis on Route 515. See the Coastal Labrador Drive for details of the area between Cartwright and Blanc Sablon. To be continued:
Brendan, See below for a few comments re how I prevent duplicates when I MERGE incoming GEDCOM data into my main file. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brendan Hynes Jr." <mclaclan@sympatico.ca> To: <NFLD-LAB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 27, 2003 1:27 PM Subject: [NFLD-LAB] Gedcoms....pros and cons.... > I used to be a firm believer in using them as a means of data sharing, > in fact I recall once even suggesting that perhaps we should create a > page on the sites just for them... > > Having however worked with a couple in the past I find myself of > differing opinion now.... > > While it's true enough that they make things easier in the entering of > multiple names in a few mere clicks of the mouse even the finest of > merging operations won't nescessarily catch all the possible duplicates > and one can quite easily discover after the fact that X number of names > and branches are now duplicated in one's database. Brendan, here's what I do: When I receive a new GEDCOM, I load it into my Family Tree Maker (FTM) thus creating an FTM file and examine it. Then I: 1 - Use the FIND and REPLACE function in FTM to massage certain incoming data to fit MY format. e.g., I change all the NEWFOUNDLANDs, NF, NL, etc. to simply Nfld., the abbreviation I use. 2 - I assign a birth DATE (an ABOUT birth date) to EVERY person in the incoming file that dosen't already have one. MORE ON GUESSED DATES BELOW. To do this I use a little formula that has worked well. If you are interested let me know. 3 - If the incoming SURNAMES are in the format I use (Joseph Roberts SMALLWOOD), I again use the FIND and REPLACE to change the format to Joseph Roberts Smallwood. By the way, Joey is in my file as grandmother was a COOPER from Lower Island Cove, in my neighborhood and his wife was a OATES from up the road in Carbonear. MORE ON SURNAMES BELOW 4 - Of course, I back up my main file before I allow anything to be added to it. 4- When I actually get to the APPEND/MERGE operation , I use the APPEND ONLY option. This prevents FTM from MERGING anything on its own. All I've done is add the incoming data to my file without MERGING anything. 5 - Then I go through each incoming person - one-by-one - beginning with the first person in a family branch. Before I add each one, I look for possible duplicates based on either real dates or the ones that I've assigned. SEE # 2 above. As I do that, I mentally add and subtract about 10 years to/from those dates that I've guessed at. And I also look at spouses and anything else that may indicate a duplicate. 6 - As I add each person permanently to my file, I change their surname (now in lower case - SEE # 3 above) to upper case to fit my format. 7 - Before I finish, I look at my main index to make certain that there are no lower case surnames in there. What I've actually done is to use FTM to massage and APPEND the data and perform the manual MERGE function as described. By the way, it's more difficult to describe this process than to actually do it. I've been using (and refining) this method for years now and it works for me. So endth the lesson - hey it is Sunday. <big grin> Cheers. Matt

I used to be a firm believer in using them as a means of data sharing, in fact I recall once even suggesting that perhaps we should create a page on the sites just for them... Having however worked with a couple in the past I find myself of differing opinion now.... While it's true enough that they make things easier in the entering of multiple names in a few mere clicks of the mouse even the finest of merging operations won't nescessarily catch all the possible duplicates and one can quite easily discover after the fact that X number of names and branches are now duplicated in one's database. I also find I agree with Lori's thinking, it shouldn't be too easy to take one's database from 1500 names to multiple thousands in one shot....Besides, the entering of individuals and their families makes for memories of the data entered, quearies on the board then can oftentimes trigger those memories making sharing data more than just a 1 time thing......as example, if I've entered data on a John Smith who's wife was Drusilla brown and they'd had children Frank, George, lena and Loretta I'm likely to remember it when another quearies asking regards to a J Smith and wife Drusilla Unknown....... I still to a degree work with Gedcoms, but rather than merge and anter them in that manner I prefer to create a new database for the incoming gedcom and enter the data into my main in the old fashioned way, printing out reports and doing the entry individual by individual..... I still however also think that we should in some manner have a place to store gedcoms.......heaven forbid that some accident befalls one of us or our machines and whole databases are lost forever.....

Hi MacLEAN The ARCHER???, I was born in Nfld. in 1936 and have been researching my family for over 25 years. I'm aware of 5 Nfld. branches with various spellings. My research has included many trips to Nfld. and 2 to Ireland, including Mullinahone. And I have do have a copy of the O'MULLALLY book. Indeed, I've transcribed much of the pertinent data from the book into my genealogy program. I've had a cursory look at what you posted and some of it rings a bell.

Transcribed tidbits of info. courtesy of The Telegram, about Towns, Villages, it's location and it's rich history of beautiful "Labrador", Mainland of our Province, "Newfoundland and Labrador". ENJOY THE TOUR! Communities Route Number Distance (km) Blanc Sablon to L'Anse-au-Clair 5 L'Anse-au-Clair to Red Bay 510 83 Red Bay to Mary's Harbour 510 86 Mary's Harbour to Port Hope Simpson 510 51 Port Hope Simpson to Charlottetown 514 45 Charlottetown to Cartwright 514, 510 199 L'Anse-au-Clair to Cartwright 510 406 Bay Comeau (Quebec) to Labrador West 389 (Que) 600 Labrador City to Churchill Falls 500 238 Churchill Falls to Happy Valley-Goose Bay 500 288 Labrador Coastal Drive >From L'Anse-au-Clair to Cartwright The coast of Labrador is a wilderness filled with rugged seacoast, fast running rivers and breathtaking mountain ranges. Here the ancestors of the aboriginal Inuit and Innu lived for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. And it is here that the descendants of European settlers pursue a unique rural coastal lifestyle learned from the native peoples. Change comes slowly here, but change is coming. A road now connects L'Anse-au-Clair on the Strait of Belle Isle with Cartwright 400 km north on Sandwich Bay. The ocean here is called Iceberg Alley. Every spring and summer thousands of bergs, ranging in size from bergy bits the size of a car to mountains of ice weighing millions of tonnes, traverse these waters before melting in warmer waters southeast of Newfoundland. Visitors travelling to coastal Labrador will visit old settlements and enjoy rugged coastal scenery. Massive icebergs are a very common sight on this journey. Here you will find a series of small, isolated communities where you can see how European settlers adapted to a life based mainly on fishing and, later, forestry. About a thousand years ago a Viking travelling to Greenland from Iceland was blown off course and sighted, but did not land, in what we now call Labrador. Later Viking explorers sailed along this coast, noting the stands of timber and a long beach north of present-day Cartwright they called the Wonderstrands. Labrador is just across the Strait of Belle Isle from Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula. On a clear day it is visible across the 17.6 km-wide channel that funnels the icy Labrador current into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Southern Labrador is the traditional home of the summer fishermen who first travelled from the Island of Newfoundland to the lucrative fishing grounds off its coast centuries ago. Today this area is inhabited by the descendants of those first summer fishermen. This tour will introduce you to this community of friendly, independent spirits and to a region that offers a wilderness experience that you will never forget. This Labrador tour begins on Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula, at the Viking Trail community of St. Barbe, where you can take a 90-minute ferry ride across the Strait of Belle Isle to the Labrador-Quebec boundary. During the late spring and early summer, icebergs and floes drift southward to melt in the warmer waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. These mountains of floating ice originate in the high Arctic and Greenland and offer spectacular photo opportunities as they drift past Newfoundland and Labrador. Departing Blanc Sablon (Quebec), the western terminus of the ferry, take Route 510 along the 80-km stretch of paved highway that connects the communities along the southeastern coast of Labrador. The first community you'll come to in Labrador is L'Anse-au-Clair, just 5 km from Blanc Sablon. It was founded by the French in the early 1700s. While you are visiting this scenic fishing outport, you can check out the local craft store. There's also a restored early 20th century church which now serves as the regional Visitor Information Centre. Along the Forteau and Pinware Rivers during the months of July and August, trout and salmon anglers should be prepared to meet their match on the many pools, steadies and rattles. Trout anglers venturing on the far reaches of the Forteau River, and indeed on any of the excellent angling areas in Labrador, should bring a reliable insect repellent to discourage unwanted company. A small provincial park at Pinware River is an ideal base for exploring the entire area. At nearby L'Anse-Amour is a National Historic Site where archaeologists have uncovered a burial mound that is the oldest known funeral monument in North America. The Maritime Archaic people buried a 12-year-old boy here 7,500 years ago. Aboriginal people lived here as early as 9,000 years ago when it was on the edge of the retreating glaciers. A series of small campsites and burial grounds is all that remains of these early relatives of Paleo-Indian caribou hunters of northeastern North America. The descendants of these early inhabitants of Southern Labrador later fished and hunted whales in the Strait of Belle Isle. The numerous species of fish and seabirds along the coast also supported later bands of Inuit (Eskimos) and even Newfoundland's Beothuck Indians who made their homes here. At Point Amour you'll find a 109-foot lighthouse, the second tallest in Canada. Built in 1854-58 to aid navigation through the Strait of Belle Isle, the interior has recently been refurbished, and exhibits and an interpretation centre added. The first European settlers in the Straits came from England, the island of Jersey, and Newfoundland, and in the mid-nineteenth century most arrivals were from Dorset, Devon and Somerset. After that, settlers tended to be Newfoundlanders moving north. L'Anse-au-Loup, Captstan Island and West St. Modeste are communities whose ancestors first came as `livyers' (meaning, `I live here') from the Island of Newfoundland to permanently settle in what were at first only temporary summer fishing stations along the coast. During the month of August, Forteau is the home of the annual Labrador Straits Bakeapple Folk Festival. The event is named for the golden-coloured berries, also called cloudberries, that grow in abundance along this coast. They are considered by the locals to be a great delicacy. The four-day festival has lots of berry picking, but the fun also includes baking contests, traditional music, dance, song and storytelling. A variety of distinct craft items are sold during the festival. They range from caribou skin mittens and rug work to tapestries, carvings and colourful embroidered clothing. At the end of the paved section of Route 510 is Red Bay, where the site of one of the earliest industrial complexes in the New World - a Basque whaling station - has been declared a National Historic Site. Archaeologists have discovered several shipwrecks from the period of 1550- 1600 when this was the world whaling capital, supplying Europe with oil for lamps and soap. Archaeologists have uncovered an astounding number of tools and personal effects that confirm European habitation of this coast during the 16th and 17th centuries. Many of these are now conserved in the Interpretation Centre. Self-guided tours of nearby Saddle Island, where the main station was located, are available during the summer months. >From Red Bay you can now drive north to Mary's Harbour, Port Hope Simpson, Charlottetown and Cartwright, which is 323 km north of Red Bay. People who live in communities and were linked to the outside world only by coastal boat, aircraft, snowmobile or ATV are now getting used to driving to larger centres to shop, and are seeing more visitors, explorers who want to see what is essentially virgin tourist territory. Battle Harbour was a fishing port as early as the 1750s, and was one of the first European settlements along the coast. In the 19th and 20th centuries it was a major centre for the floater fishery from Newfoundland, and in 1893 Dr. Wilfred Grenfell had established his first Labrador hospital here. Many of Battle Harbour's old commercial and public buildings survived the fire, and in the 1990s a major restoration program helped preserve what is the most intact fishery outport in the province. The modernization that swept Newfoundland and Labrador in the decades after Confederation in 1949 bypassed Battle Harbour and so left a priceless built heritage virtually intact. You can reach Battle Harbour by boat from Mary's Harbour in summer, and there are accommodations and tours available. Port Hope Simpson, a logging community and one of the newest towns in the province, was founded only in 1934 when a sawmill was constructed to cut pit props in the extensive forests near the town. People have fished near here since the mid-1800s. Charlotteotwn evolved into a permanent settlement from a collection of smaller coastal villages that had depended on fishing and trapping. Around 1949 the current location was chosen because it had lots of timber, fresh water and flat land for a future airstrip. The man who named the town, Ben Powell, wanted it to become the capital of St. Michael's Bay in the same way that Charlottetown became the capital of Prince Edward Island. You can also reach the Strait of Belle Isle area on the Quebec coastal freighter that serves ports along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River between Natashquan at the end of Quebec Route 138 and Blanc Sablon. This boat calls at nine ports over a two-day period. Despite their isolation, most of these communities were settled two centuries ago by fishermen from Newfoundland and Europe. Lodge Bay, for instance, became a winter station for the fishermen of nearby Cape St. Charles in the 18th century. Just up the coast is Mary's Harbour, which has grown to a major centre this century. Nearby Battle Harbour has been fished since at least 1759 and is one of the oldest European settlements on the Labrador coast. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries it was a major centre for `floater' fishermen from Newfoundland who sailed to Labrador to catch and salt cod in the summer. In 1893 Dr. Wilfred Grenfell established his first hospital here to serve people on the coast, and in 1905 the first lighthouse in Labrador was constructed on nearby Double Island. The community declined following a major fire in 1930 and was resettled in 1966 to nearby Mary's Harbour. Now a summer fishing station, Battle Harbour has been restored to its 1800s form. Some of the old buildings, such as an 1850s church, still stand, and summer accommodations are available for travellers. Just north of Mary's Harbour the main road swings inland away from the coast and through the wilderness, while a new road connecting St. Lewis, Route 513. stretches 30 km to the east. Route 510 meets the coast again at Port Hope Simpson, one of the newer communities in this area, in 2001. The town was established by John Hope Simpson, who started a logging business here in the 1930s. Another new settlement founded because of vast timber stands in the area is Charlottetown, which dates from the middle of this century. You can reach it via route 514 from Route 510. The coastal scenery here is beautiful. This heavily wooded area contrasts sharply with northern Labrador where tundra dominates the landscape. Offshore is the Gannet Islands Ecological Reserve, the largest razorbill colony in North America and a major breeding colony for murres, puffins, and black-legged kittiwakes. The new road ends at Cartwright, although there are plans to build another road from here to Happy Valley-Goose Bay over the next decade. For the time being, the connection between the two will be a ferry. A separate coastal boat (no cars) will connect tiny communities between Cartwright and Pinsent Arm. Cartwright was named for Capt. George Cartwright, a merchant adventurer who lived along the coast for about a decade in the late 1700s. Cartwright had better relations with the Inuit than his contemporaries. Cartwright was the subject of a 1990s novel called The Afterlife of George Cartwright, which was nominated for a Governor-General's Award for Canadian fiction. The community which bears his name is a major service centre for the coast. A great adventure along this part of the coast is a trip on the groomed snowmobile trails that connect the communities of southeast Labrador in the winter. The ferry from Cartwright to Happy Valley-Goose Bay traverses the narrow waterway of Hamilton Inlet that connects the ocean to Lake Melville. It was probably here that Norse rovers Thorvald Eiriksson and Thorfinn Karlsefni landed on their journey westward to undiscovered lands. Some people believe that the Lake Melville area was the Markland - the Land of Forests - of the Viking sagas. To be continued:
Does anybody have anything on a Dorcas Oake born mid 1800s who married a Mr. Gatehouse and lived in Botwood? Thanks so much! Valerie
