On google maps it shows a ferry going into hawke habour from sandy islands and snug habour. Does anyone live there?

Beautifully done!! A subject very dear to my heart

I'm pretty sure make and break engines are the same as what the old-timers in these parts called "hit and miss" engines. I've only seen stationary ones; it's good to see them on the sea. Thumbs up!

my teachers mom used to live there! pin pls?

Thanks for sharing this! I have at least a couple of ancestors buried in that cemetery.

The thumbnail of the video is my pops old stage

What a wonderful and poignant video. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I love all of your work Ed. It is wonderful. Thank you so much.

Ed, I was stationed at the Naval Base in Argentia from November 1963 to September 1965, I did not like living in the old drafty WW2 barracks so I rented a room on the Jersey Side with a fisherman/ lobstermen family . The had relatives out in St. Leanord's. When my schedule would match up with the CNN ferry, I would go out to St. Leanord's for some good trout fishing in the spring. On one of my trips out I met Farley Mowat and John De Visser , who were returning to the South Coast where they had wintered the Happy Adventure. John was working on his PHOTO Journal The Rock Within The Sea. Whenever I went out to Burin or St. Leanord's I would bring a bottle or two of Boccardi with me, so we cracked one open in the Salon and had a lengthy conversation. I had just finished reading Sterling Hayden's "Wanderer" . I think we were on the Baccalieu, or the Northern Ranger. I think I had told you about the Church in St Kyrin's, at that time it was still in tact and the path over to St. Leanord's was still groomed. I have pictures of Niech Miller with a string of freshly caught Brook Trout we fried up in butter. I am 79 now and those trips out along the South Coast still haunt me.

My dad and his family were from here and I’ve only ever seen a few really bad pictures it’s cool to see some better footage, thanks.

Beautiful commentary and photography of such special places. 💕

Beautiful friendly faces, I can't wait to set sails to the Labrador. Exploring and meeting people, even volunteering here and there while visiting new regions all the way to Greenland. Everyday I work, eat, sleep and dream about it. I want to thank you for sharing all these wonderful videos

I have always wanted to do that trip;i heard it was very expensive. Do you know what the price is

Very interesting Ed. Your videos are always very informative! Thank you for showing us what we would otherwise not see! Derek Near N.S.

In the 80s, I absorbed the phantom pain that lingered in many of the abandoned bays of Notre Dame... this after Black Island: Autumn cliffs resound gulls delight, salted spray flights of puffin whirr away.

Great video Ed! Stunning vistas of beautiful, remote places that few are fortunate enough to visit. Insightful, personal description of what resettlement was like from Barb.

Beautiful ! Keep up the great work 👍

Thanks for posting this video of the beautiful places alot of us will not get to see.Great work.

Wonderful Ed... GREAT to see another beautiful pictorial portraying the way we were. Your drone-work and moody music certainly presents "the" mood and perspective. Interestingly, I relay closely to the video, as with the others, having had visited so many of the settlements... most particularly, in 1967 with the CN Coastal Service on the White Bay- Green Bay run aboard the MV Hopedale and in 1971 with DREE on the Resettlement program, (canvasing communities to collect data and seniors' opinions) on the south coast and eastern half of the Prov (1971). Your video helps bring back very fond memories of places and people. THANK YOU.

Such wonderful glimpses into a time that is slowly slipping away from us. Truly transforming. As always, thank you... Marian 🇨🇦

Between Quirpon and St. Lunaire is the abandon community of Fortune which was resettled in 1972.

Just a great video and augmented with the inclusion of the beautiful Isle Au Valen and narration by island daughter, Barb Leonard King-my good friend and former colleague.

Great video Ed.I'd loveto have visited some of those places.

This video says a lot about life on the Rock and the people who call it home. They who come before us, never let their memories and stories fade.Thank you for documenting this Ed O'Reilly.

Ed are you certain that is Exploits there at 4:10.?

Another great video about Newfoundland Thanks for doing this Ed. Please keep up the good work. And you deserve ‘ The Order of Canada ‘ for your devotion to ‘community’

Well done. It's good to see some resettlements being resettled or some of their structures renovated. Battle Harbour is a good example. Former residents are also renovating the historic church in Petites. Individual and collective actions such as these can help maintain a historical understanding of the lives of those who long populated these outports.

Great job. Bravo!

Ed, This is wonderful ! Love the music background. Congratulations on a very well done project!

Another beautiful video Ed! Thanks for sharing!

Great video Mr. O'Reilly and great job Barb Leonard. Thank you both.

ed, george wilson was my grandfather and i was 5 when my family (the last to leave) left Merasheen! Thank you for this visual love story!

My sweet boy Chico in the intro and at the ending! Thank you for mention of our sweet doggie. We miss him so very much and that added touch means so very much to us! ❤

Thanks Ed!

Another great video Ed

Lovely Ed, but what's with the rooster.

The people, and the places, in Newfoundland are endlessly fascinating. Lovely use of B&W for your portrait photos. Thanks for sharing this wee film! Marian 🇨🇦

Great video Ed!!

Je me planifi une expédition à terre neuve labrador à 2025, maintenant je dois trouver une façon d'aller sur henley harbor votre vidéo me donne vraiment envie d'y aller

Absoloutly stunning videos, and journeys and adventure. Wow beyond amazing trip you made. Have you done this for 27 summers? What other areas have you sailed? I have so many questions. Thank you, Safe journeys , keep up the great work!

My mother was born in Harbour Buffett and my parents were married in Oderin. This is a lovely video. Thank you for sharing.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. My Mom was a Keeping from Sagona and my husband and I and our two young children made it there from Harbour Breton. We hitched a ride aboard Tiny Bubbles captained by Vince Snook who used to live on the island. Made the connection at Sunny Cottage as he was there playing the guitar for some folks from the care home as I recall. Amazing to visit the place I had heard so many stories about. Would love to go back on a visit to Newfoundland but it is a long drive to Harbour Breton and a long boat ride from Fortune! And iffy weather.

Awesome video! I practically grew up in Kingwell ( Next to Port Royal) during the summers in the late 70's and 80's. No bay like Placentia Bay WHEN it's sunny 😊

Awesome . Just watched your video , the part on ODERIN Island , Katerina was reading what was on the cross .The name G lake made it , Gordon Lake living in St John's a very good friend of mine and maybe a family member of Katerina .Let me know if you would like to know more about this , take care , God Bless

Ed … as always your videos leave me speechless. It’s Christmas Day and Greg and I are watching your sailing documentaries. You are amazing!!! A gift to the histories of NL

Awesome work Ed

Cemetery appears well cared for

Great drone footage!

When I was there in 1963 I spent as much time as I could on the South Bay and Burin, Marasheen, Red Island and St. Kyren's. Everything my father told me about from his youth in 1920 and 30's was still the same in the outports. I was fortunate to be able to bring some things they needed from the PX on the Navy base where I was stationed. Cap'n Rick, Port of Lewes, Delaware. My mentor was Sterling Hayden

I was there in 1963, came by CNN Ferry from Argentia, the church was still standing and the paths were well groomed. Was a guest of the Millers and went trout fishing in the lakes above. I missed the ferry and was transported back in a punt( Make & Break) to Placentia. Stil have pictures of me and Neich Miller. We fried them up in bacon grease and ate them like bacon. Visited a few other houses and they all wanted to know about President Kennedy like he was my brother. They all had pictures of him hanging in the parlor! I am 78 now and still remember well.
