Indeavour recreation started in Winterton

Published on June 15, 2010

As the crowd of 150 to 200 people in the shed sang "Down, boys, down," 14 people - representing English explorer John Guy and his Indeavour crew - set down the 350-pound bare ship's keel.

The piece is the centre of what will be a life-sized reconstruction of the frame of the Indeavour at the Wooden Boat Museum of Newfoundland and Labrador.

I hope the officials who travelled over the Carbonear/Heart's Content barrens for this event (the MHA included) noted what bad shape it's in & do something about it. Can't get tourists over bad roads too many times.

As I have said before, history records that John Guy did not set sail for Trinity Bay from Cupids. If there is a letter from John Guy in which Guy actually mentions Cupids I would like to see it! Some try to say that the name of Cuper's Cove was changed to Cupids. Nothing could be further from the truth, Cupids was NEVER known as Cuper's Cove. Any claim that Cupids is Cuper's Cove is historically incorrect and unsupportable by the facts. Why didn't the Government check the historical facts before spending millions of taxpayer dollars in Cupids?
