Did you ever try Beef Iron Wine? - Battle Harbour

Cod Fish and Child Mural

I liked this mural with the large cod fish and a young boy next to them.

It's amazing that these fish are now so rare and not rearly this size when caught.

Artifact Display and Mural

I beleive this was in the Herring Store, building 18.

Battle Harbour Church

Inside the Battle Harbour Church

Noted ecclesiastical architect William Grey, under the direction of Bishop Edward Feild, designed the Church of St. James the Apostle for Battle Harbour in the late 1840s. Built in 1852 and restored in 1991, St. James is the sole surviving example of Grey's work. It is also the oldest surviving Anglican church in Labrador.

Here I am in the pulpit!

Bell Tower

Church Bell Tower

It took a bit of creativity but here I got a picture of the bell in the bell tower of the church. Yank the cord in the porch of the church and enjoy the sound of this bell today.

Ranger Display

Ranger Attire

In the Ranger Station building F, there is interpretation including this display of the typical attire.

Inside the Bunk House

Cookhouse / Bunkhouse Interior

This is a picture of the bunks in the cookhouse / bunkhouse or building number I.

It is typical hostel style and look very comfortable.

Great page about BH (Battle Harbour - not Beverly Hills)! Love that sunset pic.

Hi Jamie, well what a beautiful little harbour, just the place i would love to be right now with just a book as company, and one of those giant cod for dinner LOL.

A fantastically interesting page Jamie!! This really is an amazing place - a visit looks like it would be so much fun. I remember using kerosene lamps and wood stoves at my Uncle's cottage many years ago!

Very interesting page, I find the plane crash being a signposted attraction a shade bizarre, and those (mural) cod are enormous - I've only ever seen them with chips before!!!

Great info on Battle Harbour, I hope to see icebergs one day. Too bad you couldn't get that close to the whale. I love seeing whales too, thanks for the tips!

Jaimie, what an absorbing and detailed description you provide of life in Battle Harbour, both in the past and present day. You show us a world that was more difficult but simpler than today. You are a true ambassador for Labrador. Thank you.

Battle Harbour sounds like it would be a good place to relax and and enjoy life. I like being able to put yourslf right in the mural. Oh yes kitchen partys, know them well.
