  • Hawke Harbour is the site of the burned down ruins of a whaling Station on the Southern Labrador. The plant burned in 1959. Remnants of the processing plant gives one an idea of the magnitude of this place. It had to be an impressive site on this isolated and wild part of the southern Labrador Coast. I am sure you would have smelled it before you saw it. Cranky Goat Entertainment’s Christopher Richardson and Peter Elliott accompanied me as they filmed two episodes of the CBC Land and Sea Program “No Place Like it”. Check it out at:

    Continue to explore, to delve into the history of long-abandoned communities, to remember those who once lived and loved, who were loved. Thank you Ed for your heartfelt stories.

    Another great video with lots of history. There was more Basque involvement in Newfoundland than I originally knew. Thanks for another gem.

    Another gem, Ed ! Thank you.
    I love the video elements, and the aerial drone-shots ... but the history is the foundation, and the research you put into that is much appreciated.

    So well done, Ed !!! Very interesting.... Although essential to so many people, whale oil had to be produced in such great quantities. It is hard to imagine a slaughter of such scale, on such enormous animals. It is so nice to see the whale population re-establish over our own life span. Hopefully, we only need them for the awe and amazement they always produce on us, seamen, mariners, sailors and pleasure boaters.

    There's no shortage of stunning places in this province, but that shot of Triangle Harbour at 12:05 has me convinced it's right at the top of them.

      Chico - Williams Harbour Labrador. My first drone was a dji air but that met a watery grave. I now have the Magic 2 pro. Glad you are enjoying the videos. What do you think of Ron Jeremy the rooster???

      I didn't know there was a whaling factory in Inidian Harbour. Don't know if you check out Provincial archive of NL, but lots and lots of photos. It's a great source.
