Wooden Boat Museum of Newfoundland and Labrador WOODEN BOAT MUSEUM OF NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR Report of Activities 2014 - 2015 Message from Chairman of the Board Frank French I am proud to once again have the privilege of introducing the annual Report of Activities for the Wooden Boat Museum of Newfoundland and Labrador. As you read through the various committee reports, it is evident that the Organization has had another very successful year. We have continued to focus on maintaining partnerships with other organizations and businesses as well as establishing new ones. Our funding arrangements with ACOA and IBRD expired at the end of July and we were successful in obtaining further funding to December 2017. We continue to work toward self-sustainability, but the support of these funding partners is critical in our continuing project work throughout the Province. Revenue generating partnerships with Twillingate Island Tourism Association for the lease of our exhibit “Before Fibreglass – The Wooden Boats of Newfoundland and Labrador” at Long Point Lighthouse, and the arrangement with the Trinity Historical Society for establishment of an exhibit, as well as a pilot workshop program, continue to be solid relationships that benefit all parties involved. This year brings to an end my four year term for as Chairman of the Board of Directors. I wish to thank my fellow Board members, volunteers and staff for their dedication and hard work which made my job much easier and the Museum much more successful. Member and corporate support has also been nothing short of outstanding. While the Museum has a bright future, the coming year will no doubt have its challenges; as always, revenue generation will be a priority as well as continued efforts to fine tune present programs along with developing others. We are very excited about the planning efforts toward an international conference next year in Trinity, our documentation and workshop programs, and some pending partnerships to name a few. Please take some time to review the information outlined in this document to help you appreciate the successes of our Organization as we reflect on our motto “Look Aft and Learn”. Page 1 Message from Treasurer of the Board Wallace Pinhorn On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Wooden Boat Museum of Labrador Inc. (WBMNL), I am pleased to provide the financial report for the Fiscal Year 2014. Revenues from Project contracts with ACOA and BTCRD and from Museum activities and programs allowed WBMNL to: conduct boat building workshops at Winterton; continue with displays and partnerships with The Trinity Historical Society (THS) and The Twillingate Isles Tourism Association (TITA), market at Trade, Marketing and Heritage Shows; develop preliminary plans for its Trinity Seduction Capacity Building Conference at Trinity in 2016; sponsor a visit by our boat builder, Jerome Canning, to Spain to participate in the San Juan replica rebuild, continue Boats and Builders documentation for its Wooden Boat Field Guide; and continue with its Annual Conference and Quarterly Newsletter. In addition, our partnership with the Town of Winterton allowed the operation of the WBMNL Museum at Winterton for the 2014 Tourist Season. The charts below show categories of Revenue, Project Funding and Expenses for 2014. Total Revenue for 2014 was $335,000. WBMNL accounted for 50%, ACOA Funding 26% and BTCRD Funding 24%. WBMNL’s Only a Boat fundraiser accounted for 36% of its contribution to revenue. Page 2 Project Funding for 2014 was $217,000. ACOA’s Innovative Community Fund (ICF) provided 40%; BTCRD’s Regional/Sectorial Diversification Fund (RSDF) provided 37%; WBMNL provided 23%. Total Expenses for 2014 were $323,000. WBMNL Salaries were 52%, and Other Expenses 48% of the Total. Project contracts with ACOA and BTCRD were completed in July 2015. New Project funding contracts have been negotiated to December 2017. In addition, funding contracts have been finalized for the Trinity Seduction Capacity Building Conference at Trinity in 2016. These contracts require WBMNL to contribute a minimum of $160,000 as its 20% share of eligible project costs. The WBMNL Board and Museum Friends must focus on Revenue Development in order to meet these financial commitments. These efforts will allow the Museum to continue developing and delivering on its Mission and Objectives. Audited Statements for WBMNL are shown within this Annual Report. Page 3 The Museum in Winterton Jeremy Harnum, Manager Funding for the operation of the Museum in Winterton is received from Department of Tourism’s CEDP Operational Support and supplemented by Museum admission fees, merchandise sales, workshops and donations. Our 2014 staff included a Museum Manager and Assistant Manager; three post-secondary students - a Museum Programming Assistant, a Chief Interpreter and Naval Architect Student, all funded through the Young Canada Works Program; four secondary students as Interpreters and Tour Guides through Canada Summer Jobs and one student through Provincial Summer Student Program. We officially opened the Museum on June 23rd. Our total number of visitors was 1817, an increase of approximately 25% from 2013. The Museum was open for 10 weeks and we averaged 181 people per week during that time. Nine artists participated in in our Artist in Studio Program in July and August, demonstrating their various styles of art, including rug hooking, painting, wood carving, and traditional music. Feedback from tourists was positive and we wish to thank the following artists for volunteering their time - Kevin Coates – Wood Carving - Monica Hindy / Marjorie Powers / Doris Harnum – Knitting - Rhoda Hedd – Rug Hooking - Florence Pinhorn – Painting - Melvin Green / Randy Pinhorn – Music - Jeanette Jobson – Painting Page 4 On August 2nd, the Museum hosted Melvin Green’s CD Launch – Ireland’s Eye. Melvin has been a volunteer with the Museum since its beginning and we were pleased to host this event with his family and friends. The Museum was filled with 175 people who enjoyed an afternoon of great music! A portion of CD sales at the Museum is being donated to the Museum. We wish to thank Melvin for his continued support and dedicated volunteer work at the Museum. Full-guided tours were returned to the Museum programming this year. Our experienced tour guides provide the visitors with a more personal experience and the response from visitors has been overwhelming. Workshops continued throughout the summer season with the implementation of three levels of adult workshops and a weekly children’s workshop. With the hard work and determination of our board, staff and volunteers, we have once again enjoyed a successful year. Our ongoing work allows us to celebrate and preserve our wooden boat history - while sharing our past with visitors from all over the world. With a drive and vision that continues to grow, we are striving for an even more successful season in 2015! Page 5 Wooden Boat Documentation Committee Crystal Braye, Folklorist Our 2014 Documentation Program has been focused on Twillingate and Trinity. In Twillingate, WBMNL partnered with the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador to offer workshops that taught community members the process for lifting lines from boats and how to collect oral histories. Crystal Braye and Naval Architecture intern Lois Bragg spent time in June and August speaking with boat builders and documenting wooden boats in the area. This information will be archived on Memorial University Digital Archives Initiative (DAI) and will be shared with the Isles Wooden Boat Building Committee in Twillingate and used to create future exhibits, pamphlets and content on our website. As part of WBMNL’s new partnership with Trinity Historical Society, Crystal Braye and Bruce Whitelaw developed four new museum panels focused on historical boat building activities in Trinity. These panels were the first to be added our Chapter 2 exhibit in Trinity, with more scheduled to be added for the 2015 season. Crystal Braye and Lois Bragg spent time in Trinity documenting boats and speaking with boat builders and fishermen. The information collected will be used to further develop Chapter 2 of our Wooden Boats of Newfoundland and Labrador story, and will also be added to the Boats and Builders website and Memorial’s DAI. Page 6 Further documentation work was done in New Bonaventure with fisherman and boat builder Lance Short, including the documentation of a reconstructed local boat. The audio files, photos, and videos have been indexed and will be added to the DAI. This material was used to create new interpretive panels for our exhibit in Trinity. Over the winter, documentation efforts were focused on the development of our new exhibit: They Came for the Fish and Stayed for the Stages now on display at the Museum in Winterton. Based on information collected from late Winterton resident Raymond W. Parrott, interviews with community members and archival research, this exhibit explores Newfoundland and Labrador’s salt cod fishery through a look at the stages and flakes that supported this way of life for generations. Page 7 Wooden Boat Building Workshop Committee Jim Dempsey, Chair In 2014, the Museum introduced three levels of workshops, each level increasing in duration, material and skills developed. Level 1 – Intended for the casual visitor to the museum who would like the opportunity to experience some of the satisfaction of traditional boat building as part of the overall museum visit to Winterton and Trinity. Workshops were offered on Tuesdays and Wednesdays

  • The Places of Bay Roberts
    1 2 COVES, STREETS, FIELDS AND MORE: The Places of Bay Roberts Researched & Written by: Folklore Graduate Field School Class of 2017 Edited by: Katherine Harvey Oral History Roadshow Series #005 Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador Intangible Cultural Heritage Office St. John’s, NL, Canada Layout / design by Jessie Meyer 2018 3 INTRODUCTION The recollections in this booklet were recorded by students in Memorial University’s Folklore Department. For three weeks in September 2017, Memorial’s newest folklore graduate students arriving from Northern Ontario, all parts of the United States, Iran, and Israel, were transplanted to Bay Roberts to participate in a cultural documentation field school: a required course that takes place at the start of the first semester of the graduate program. The field school participants were warmly welcomed by local residents, and this booklet is both a “give back” to the community, as well as a product of what the students learned. The academic goals of the field school are for students to learn first-hand about cultural documentation: techniques of audio-recorded interviewing, ethnographic observation, writing fieldnotes, documentary photography, video-recording, organizing and archiving field data, analysing field data, and public presentation skills. In addition to skills and techniques, students learn to work in teams, to meet new people, and to recognize local traditions and culture— this is at the heart of folklore fieldwork. The warmth with which we were welcomed to Bay Roberts—from the very first day was a highlight. It was a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon, but students enjoyed the “Toutons and Tunes” walking tour, which ended in the Red Shed (a special place indeed!) with tea, toutons, scrunchions, crab legs, and traditional tunes—what a delicious introduction! Over the course of the next three weeks, students were invited into people’s homes, where they shared cups of tea, baked goods, 4 and stories.

Falkingham had been a captain in the Royal Navy since 1713, and already had served as a commodore on the Newfoundland station.1 In mid-May 1732 the Admiralty requested and re- ceived copies of Falkingham’s Commission and Instructions, including the traditional “Heads of Inquiry,” a detailed list of questions on the state of the fishery.2 Focusing primarily on the cod economy, the queries also covered a wide range of demographic and social aspects of life on the island, particularly during the summer.

  • The French, English and a Fish: How They Transformed the Island of Newfoundland, 1696-1713 by Jacquelyn Irene-Rose George
    The French, English and a Fish: How They Transformed the Island of Newfoundland, 1696-1713 by Jacquelyn Irene-Rose George A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Approved April 2016 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee Susan Gray, Chair Victoria Thompson Kent Wright ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2016 ABSTRACT Newfoundland is an island on the east coast of Canada that is mostly forgotten to the study of history. This paper looks in depth at the fighting between France and England between 1696 and 1713, which in Europe coincided with the Nine Years’ War and the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1696, fighting broke out on Newfoundland between England and France because of the Nine Years’ War. Pierre le Moyne d’Iberville, a French officer, commanded the attacks on over twenty English settlements. The attacks lasted less than a year. Attacks would happen again because of the War of the Spanish Succession. France and England would attack each other trying to gain control of the prized commodity of the island, the cod fish. This study looks at how French and English fighting on Newfoundland helped to change the landscape and shaped the way the history of the French and English on the island is portrayed today. Historians tend to look more at the modern history of the island such as: soldiers in World War I and World War II, when Newfoundland became a Canadian province, and the English history of the island. This study argues that, by studying French and English fighting on the island, we can better see the historical significance of Newfoundland.

  • 19 Century Newfoundland Outport Merchants the Jersey Room, Burin
    19th century Newfoundland outport merchants The Jersey Room, Burin, c. 1885, S.H. Parsons photo (GPA collection). submitted to Provincial Historic Commemorations Program Dept. Business, Tourism, Culture & Rural Development P.O. Box 8700 St. John's, NL A1E 1J3 submitted by Robert H. Cuff Historian/Writer Gerald Penney Associates Limited PO Box 428, St. John’s, NL A1C 5K4 10 November 2014 Executive Summary In their impact on Newfoundland and Labrador’s economic development, patterns of settlement, and community life, 19th century outport merchants made a significant historic contribution. Their secondary impact, on the Province’s political and cultural development, may be less obvious but was nonetheless vital. Each merchant had a demonstrable impact beyond his home community, in that each supplied nearby communities. Although a merchant’s commercial home sphere was typically in the headquarters bay or region, the majority of the outport merchants were also involved in both fishing and in supplying planters/ fishers in migratory or vessel-based fisheries elsewhere: the Labrador and French Shore fisheries; the seal hunt; and the western boat and Bank fisheries of the south coast. For the purposes of this review it was found helpful to draw a distinction between “resident outport merchants” who lived the full range of their adult lives in rural Newfoundland and the “merchant gentry” whose outport residency was an episode in their business and family life which was otherwise substantially spent in the Old Country or in St. John’s. The resident group may be more worthy of consideration for the Province’s commemoration program. Existing commemorations tend to favour the merchant gentry.

  • “Some Commendable Benefit”
    “Some Commendable Benefit” Early Newfoundland Colonizers and the Beginning of Permanent Settlement on the Island William Gilbert March 31, 2016 Introduction Early in 1610 a group of London and Bristol merchants came together to form a company with the goal of establishing “a colony or colonies in the Southerne and Easterne parts of the Countrey and Ile or Ilands, commonly called New-found-land…” . According to the company’s charter, issued by James I on 2 May, 1610, these colonies were intended, “both to secure and make safe the … Trade of Fishing to Our Subjects for ever; And also, to make some commendable benefit for the use of mankind by the lands and profits thereof.” 1 The first colonists arrived in August 1610, setting in motion a series of colonizing schemes that continued for several decades. By 1630 small settlements had been established at Cupids, Harbour Grace, Carbonear, St. John’s, Ferryland, and, possibly, Renews. While the total population of these settlements at that time was probably only about 200, they acted as centres around which other settlements could take hold and helped lay the foundations for much of what was to come later. D.W. Prowse and Some Common Misconceptions It is impossible to properly address the topic of early colonization in Newfoundland without first turning our attention to D.W, Prowse’s A History of Newfoundland. Although it was published over 120 years ago, Prowse’s History still has a strong hold on the popular imagination and, despite roughly six decades of serious research and writing, his ideas on early colonization continue to cast a shadow, even in some corners of the academic world.
