Legion Legion VOLUME 11 DECEMBER 2011 H.M.S. JERVIS BAY ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION Newfoundland and Labrador Command LEGION H.M.S. JERVIS BAY On November 13, 1940 - THE HALIFAX CHRONICLE reported in their newspaper the heroic deeds of the crew of the H.M.S. JERVIS BAY. The crew of the "JERVIS BAY", including three Newfoundland lads, engaged a superior radar to give the rest of the convoy that they were travelling with time to escape; 29 of the 38 ships in the convoy were saved by the HMS JERVIS BAY, and the 65 crew members of the ship were picked up by a Swedish Freighter out of Gothenburg, Sweden - the Captain of that ship was Captain Sven Olander. The crew of the "Jervis Bay" participated in the suicide battle against overwhelming odds. The Jervis Bay, with only light armament, tackled a heavy German warship in mid-Atlantic and held her off long enough for at least 29 ships of the 38 ship convoy to escape. The battle was hard fought with the crew of the Jervis Bay giving it their best. This convoy was bound from an East Coast Canadian Port to Britain when the attack occurred November 5th, 1940. The St. John's Evening Telegram reported on November 2lst, 1940 that the citizens of St. John's and surrounding area came out in great numbers to welcome home three of our local heroes who participated in this battle - it was an opportunity to honour two of their own and also to pay tribute to the ships company of the HMS Jervis Bay: Seaman George Malcolm Squires Seaman Arthur Tilley Seaman Arthur Taylor (could not attend the reception was still in hospital). These young heroes received a tremendous welcome, and the ship’s crew also was honoured for their participation in this outstanding act of gallantry and devotion to duty. Their devotion to duty will always be remembered. Seaman Squires spent three days in the Atlantic on a raft - all three of these sailors survived the war - and Seaman Squires died October 12, 1961 in St. John's, NL. Their actions during this battle are even more significant - because these young sailors were in some cases on their first voyage - and according to senior officers, performed their duties in a manner that defied their knowledge - they acted like very well trained veterans. The Colors of the "Jervis Bay" were flying to the end. The Flag Mast was shot away but the crew tied the "red, white and blue" to the rigging and it could still be seen as the battered bulk sank slowly beneath the waves. Pictures and write up supplied by Mrs. Gail Tippett, RN - daughter of Seaman George M. Squires, of St. John's, NL.

  • • Articles • Becoming Local
    PAGE 44 • Articles • Becoming Local: The Emerging Craft Beer Industry in Newfoundland, Canada NATALIE DIGNAM Memorial University of Newfoundland Abstract: This article considers the ways craft breweries integrate the local culture of Newfoundland, Canada in their branding, events and even flavors. Between 2016 and 2019, the number of craft breweries in Newfoundland quadrupled. This essay examines how this emerging industry frames craft beer as local through heritage branding that draws on local customs and the island's unique language. At the same time, some breweries embrace their newness by reinterpreting representations of rural Newfoundland. In May of 2017, I moved from Massachusetts to the island of Newfoundland with my husband. "The Rock," as it's nicknamed, part of Canada's easternmost province of Newfoundland and Labrador, is an isolated island of over 155,000 square miles of boreal forest, bluffs and barrens. During that first summer, we were enthralled by the East Coast Trail, a hiking trail that loops around the Avalon Peninsula on the eastern edge of the island. From rocky cliffs, we spotted whales, hawks, icebergs, and seals. We often ate a "feed of fish and chips," as I have heard this popular dish called in Newfoundland. One thing we missed from home were the numerous craft breweries, where we could grab a pint after a day of hiking. We had become accustomed to small, locally-owned breweries throughout New England, operating out of innocuous locations like industrial parks or converted warehouses, where we could try different beers every time we visited. I was disappointed to find a much more limited selection of beer when I moved to Newfoundland.

  • Entanglements Between Irish Catholics and the Fishermen's
    Rogues Among Rebels: Entanglements between Irish Catholics and the Fishermen’s Protective Union of Newfoundland by Liam Michael O’Flaherty M.A. (Political Science), University of British Columbia, 2008 B.A. (Honours), Memorial University of Newfoundland, 2006 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Liam Michael O’Flaherty, 2017 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2017 Approval Name: Liam Michael O’Flaherty Degree: Master of Arts Title: Rogues Among Rebels: Entanglements between Irish Catholics and the Fishermen’s Protective Union of Newfoundland Examining Committee: Chair: Elise Chenier Professor Willeen Keough Senior Supervisor Professor Mark Leier Supervisor Professor Lynne Marks External Examiner Associate Professor Department of History University of Victoria Date Defended/Approved: August 24, 2017 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract This thesis explores the relationship between Newfoundland’s Irish Catholics and the largely English-Protestant backed Fishermen’s Protective Union (FPU) in the early twentieth century. The rise of the FPU ushered in a new era of class politics. But fishermen were divided in their support for the union; Irish-Catholic fishermen have long been seen as at the periphery—or entirely outside—of the FPU’s fold. Appeals to ethno- religious unity among Irish Catholics contributed to their ambivalence about or opposition to the union. Yet, many Irish Catholics chose to support the FPU. In fact, the historical record shows Irish Catholics demonstrating a range of attitudes towards the union: some joined and remained, some joined and then left, and others rejected the union altogether.

  • Kittiwake/Gander-New-Wes-Valley Region
    Regional Profile of the Kittiwake Region May 2013 Prepared by: Janelle Skeard, Jen Daniels, Ryan Gibson and Kelly Vodden Department of Geography, Memorial University Introduction The Kittiwake/Gander – New-Wes-Valley region is located on the north eastern coast of the Island portion of Newfoundland and Labrador. This region is delineated by the Regional Economic Development Zone (Kittiwake) and the provincial Rural Secretariat region (Gander – New-Wes -Valley) (Figure 1), which have closely overlapping jurisdictions. The region consists of approximately 119 communities, spanning west to Lewisporte, east to Charlottetown, and north to Fogo Island (see Figure 1). Most of these communities are located in coastal areas and are considered to be rural in nature. Only six communities within the region have a population of over 2,000, with Gander being the largest community and the primary service centre for the Kittiwake region. Approximately 20 percent of the regional population resides in the Town of Gander (Rural Secretariat, 2013). The region also encompasses three inhabited islands that are accessible only by ferry: Fogo Island, Change Islands, and St. Brendan's (KEDC, 2007, p.2). Figure 1. Map of Kittiwake/Gander-New-Wes-Valley Region Figure 1: Gander – New-Wes Valley (Map Credit: C. Conway 2008) Regional Profile of the Kittiwake Region Page 2 of 14 Brief History The region’s history is vast. Many of its communities have their own diverse histories, which collectively paint a picture of the past. Aboriginal occupation is the first noted settlement in many parts of the region. Research suggests that 5,000 years ago, what we now call Bonavista Bay was inhabited by Aboriginal peoples who benefited from the region’s abundance of resources such as seal, salmon and caribou.

  • 2.0 the Bonavista Peninsula Management District
    2.0 The Bonavista Peninsula Management District 2.1 General Description The Bonavista Peninsula comprises a significant portion of Forest Management District 2 (see Figure 1). The District is bounded by channels within Bonavista Bay known as Clode Sound and Chandler Reach on the north and by Trinity Bay on the east. District 2 narrows on its southern boundary, where it is bounded by an extension of Trinity Bay known as Bull Arm and by the northern bottom of Placentia Bay. The western boundary is formed by Pipers Hole River and by a line which meanders north from the headwaters of that river system through Middle Pond and Norsemans Pond to a point just north of Ocean Pond. From there the boundary follows a straight line east for approximately 8 kilometres and then north along a straight line for Figure 2.1. Map showing boundaries of Forest Management District 02 approximately 15 kilometres, through Ams Pond and Bittern Pond to a point on the ridge that lies between the Terra Nova and Northwest Rivers. Then the boundary follows a generally eastern direction, to the north of the Northwest River system, for approximately16 kilometres to intersect with a corner of the Terra Nova National Park boundary. From there it follows the Park boundary in a southerly direction for approximately 3.5 kilometres and then to the east for another 1.5 kilometres to the junction of Salmon Brook and Clode Sound. The population of the District is 25,290 (census - 2004). The peninsula portion of the District is the most densely populated, with coastal communities scattered around its sheltered bays.
