Harbour Grace Is Where My Relatives Set Foot Back In The 1890`s. A Ton Of History Here For A Small Town.
Built in Newcastle, England in the early 1900s, the famous steamship sits prominently in the harbour as an eye-catching landmark. Nicknamed the “Bulldog of the North” and renowned for its speed, the vessel spent decades as a ferry from the Newfoundland to Labrador and the Arctic beyond.Eventually becoming a sealing vessel, the ship was damaged on one fateful expedition and brought here for repairs. On February 4, 1967, a storm blew the Kyle from its moorings, carrying her to the mussel bank in Riverhead, where she has sat ever since.
