Port au Port Peninsula, Newfoundland | Arrows of the Sea | N163AC | Maritime Transmission Link
Newfoundland and Labrador may just be the world’s seabird capital. It is home to the hemisphere’s largest gather of marine birds. Every year some 35 to 40 million seabirds travel to this Heavenly Island called Newfoundland.
Watching the Northern Gannet has been one of nature’s most amazing sights to view. These large white with black wing tip birds dive from as high as 100 feet and end with a spectacular crash into the ocean to feed on the huge schools of herring and mackerel that frequent the coast of the Cape. These birds have up to a 6 foot wing span!
At the Southwest end of the Peninsula at Boutte du Cap Park on the cliffs were spotted Sealions in groups of 10+ swimming and the Fin and MinkeWhales that surfaced and skimmed along while feeding. Hidden Falls was also another scenic stop located in Sheaves Cove where a view of the waterfall and sea animals were photographed and filmed.
While driving near the scenic French Ancestor Route on Port au Port Peninsula, Alpacas of Newfoundland roamed the hillside overlooking Bay St. George. Alpacas have been a domesticated species of the Andes of South America, which resembles the llama. I have never felt anything soffer than the Alpaca fiber.
Since April, N163AC continues to lift Powerlines on the Maritime Transmission Link just South of Stephenville on the island of Newfoundland that will extend to Nova Scotia. A power dam at Muskrat Falls in Labrador will generate the power. The Maritime Link is historic because it will be the first submarine electric interconnection between Newfoundland & Labrador and the North American electricity grid. There will be a combination of over 1500 steel towers and wooden structures to carry the power over land.
Apart from the powerline erections from the Air-Crane, there has been Subsea Cables installed between Cape Ray and Point Aconi. Specialized ships and equipment will lay two cables on the ocean floor. To protect them from pack ice, anchors and other risks, they will be buried or covered. Power is transmitted along the conductor, which is in the centre of the cable; all the other layers of the cable are added to protect the conductor. The two cables are each 170kms long.
Diverting back to the Port au Port Peninsula, Hidden Falls, located in Sheaves Cove was beautiful both for the view of the water fall as well as sea lions and whales in the distance.
Thanks to Keith Campbell for the addition ground footage of Bubba setting the transmissions towers using a mounted Go Pro Hero 4.

A visit to Stephenville and the Port au Port Peninsula, Newfoundland and Labrador (by Peter Bull)
On the May 24th weekend, our family took a trip to the Port au Port Peninsula. We spent the night in Stephenville and then started our adventure looking at the petrified forest just outside the town. After that we took a leisurely drive circumnavigating the peninsula. We found magnificent waterfalls, friendly people, beautiful rock formations, outdoor bread ovens and even some alpacas and llamas. Our daylong drive left us realizing that we would have to come back to take in more of this unique and beautiful part of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Our Lady of Mercy Church Video Dialogue.
At 115 feet in height, Our Lady of Mercy Church of Port au Port West, Newfoundland & Labrador stands tall between the landmasses of Bay St. George and Port au Port Bay.
With a church so large in size and with the beautiful mastery of local craftsmanship and having a seating capacity of 1,000, many question why a church so large would be built for a population so small.
Soon after in 1910 a limestone quarry had opened in Jack of Club’s Cove, where the name had soon changed to Aguathuna, a Beothuk name meaning ‘White Rock.’ The change came so business and trade from others afar would be taken more seriously. With increasing employment in the area came 500 men for the job, and with those men came 500 women, which would adorn the hopes of an increasing population. In the early days of Aguathuna, it was believed that due to the expansion of families and promising employment that the area would develop into what would become Newfoundland’s second city outside of the island’s capital of St. John’s. Sadly, the population boom did not occur in later years due to a sudden closure of the quarry operation where the cost of shipping exceeded the means.
With a large religious population, there would be a great requirement for a church to house the population, thus Our Lady of Mercy Church had been developed. It was a dream of Father Joy, the first parish priest in the area. Father Joy had the church designed, and a plan drawn up for a build that would start in 1914 and would take 11 years to complete. The church was consecrated in 1925. In the early years, Father Joy trained in Italy and chose the architecture and structure to reflect churches he had seen while there.
For such a mighty structure to be built there would be a great deal of capital involved, though Father Joy wanted the structure to be built debt free. In order to do so, he had it built with mainly volunteer labor. Most of the construction was contributed by able bodied fisherman, farmers, miners and adolescents of the parish who each donated at least one week of work per year to the build. There were donations of wood from Nova Scotia and Quebec, and the local communities of Point au Mal, West Bay and Piccadilly.
The beautifully hand carved 14 stations of the cross were brought in by Joy from Italy and are made of Carrera marble, surrounded by travertine marble. Carrera marble was mined under water not far from the town of Carrera where Michelangelo did most of his work. In present day the marble is no longer mined, which makes the stations particularly irreplaceable. As for most of the statues individual families donated them along with the and stained glass structures in memory of their loved ones.
During the build, Mr. Emile Felix, an elderly fisherman from the community who had been too old to climb on the scaffolding of the 35-meter high structure, wished to be of some assistance to the build. With that in mind, Mr. Felix, who could not read, or write took it upon himself to construct the altar rail by hand carving it using only a pocketknife, a homemade plain, an axe and a saw. Today it stands as a testament for what the skilled Newfoundlanders could do at the time with little or no tools.
The design of the church, looking from the sanctuary down, is in the form of a cross. The local craftsmen had built the ceiling of the church in the same way they would have built the hull of a schooner. In essence, the ceiling of the church is built as a boat, but bottom up!
The structure stands as one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s best venues for acoustics. With that being said, the church is no stranger to concerts and plays such as Murder in the Cathedral and big brass bands.
In later years in 1997, the church was named a Registered Heritage Structure by the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Today the doors are open for tours and public services during the summer months. If you would like to visit Our Lady of Mercy Church, feel free to stop by the grounds for a tour and an afternoon you won’t soon forget, nor regret. Visit ourladyofmercynl.com today!
