Part II Discovering Northern Peninsula and Southern Labrador by boat

This is Part II of a three part series that takes you to two resettled communities in Southern Labrador. The scenery is spectacular and the history is rich. In Henley Harbour, I learn about the British-Inuit Treaty of 1765 and go back to the roots of my wife's Grandmother, Marjorie George, in Cape Charles.

    I love this video. the part of the video about the henley harbor is so surreal. but it's so sad to see the place where I used to play as a child in such disrepair. my family has descended from the Stones my grandmother and her mother and so on and my grandmother's father was a Pie. and we used to go here for summer trips. my family still has a residence here as far as I know my uncle's house in the harbor. thank you for the areal shots wish there was more.

    Hi Ed... this is the most interesting tour of the Islands in Southern Labrador I have ever seen my friend. The scenery is amazing and the whole tour is very Mysterious. Every Newfoundlander/Labradorian should see this. Thank you very much for including me in this gift of History. Best luck. Harry Sulley

    Ed, I am glad that your sailing along NL's coastline came up in our conversation today. I was not aware of your videos and this provided the opportunity for me to view what you have done. Your still shots, video and descriptions are fantastic. WOW, there is a lot of history on the Northern Peninsula and Coastal Labrador. You have done a great job searching out this and presenting it. I look forward to your third video. Good luck and safe travels. Thank you. Ed Woodrow

    Another great job. I was in Henley last summer, twice, and manage to tie up alongside on Stage Island. When I was there a few years ago there were to govt bldgs but I guess someone need one so took the other. I chuckled when I read about your hunt for Fort York. I did the same thing but have been fortunate enough to get back and to actually walk the ground. Also found the route to the top of the mountain.

    I was also in Cape Charles last summer and managed to get alongside in a blow. It was tricky. I ventured into the attic of the large two story house and got some neat pics of newspaper clipping. My sister=in=law's great grandfather (Frank Lewis) was manager of Battle Harbour and she wanted a pic of his headstone. Buried in the Pye Cemetery sounded easy enough. Like Fort York, damned if I could find the cemetery. Found out it is located on the south coast in a place called Shoal Cove. I got the pics.
