Isle aux Morts - Newfoundland and Labrador
If the hair on the back of your neck prickles,
or shiver runs down your spine, when you visit
Ilse aux Morts, don't worry.
The French called it Deadman's Island: the
locals say island of the Dead. Either way the
name reflects the many ships wrecked on these
shores.
The Harvey Trail honours the family that
rescued 163 people in 1828 by stringing a
lifeline from the distressed ship to the shore
with the help of their
Newfoundland
Dog, as well as the 55 member crew of
another ship in 1838.
