Harbour Grace, Conception Bay





Just had to take a picture of 'Clarke's Legacy' in Harbour Grace, a fishing boat in very nice shape. The fishing fleet goes out in the spring for snow crab and in the autumn for cod. The statue is of Amelia Earhart, she departed from Harbour Grace on her historic flight, The first women to fly solo across the Atlantic. A DC3 from Labrador Airlines is in the background.

A grounded coastal freighter lies just off the beach, has been there for awhile as the decks and roof were growing grass. The Anglican church in town dates back to 1835.
