Mary's Harbour
surrounds the beautiful St. Mary's River. St.
Mary's River was the site of a salmon fishery as
early as the 1780's. However Mary's Harbour was
a permanent settlement until after a fire at
Battle Harbour in 1930. The International
Grenfell Association decided to relocate its
hospital and boarding school, destroyed by the
fire, from Battle Harbourr to Mary's Harbour.
Mary's Harbour has always depended on the
fishery for its livelihood. Since the cod
moratorium the community has thrived on the crab
fishery. The Labrador Fishermen's Union Shrimp
Company employs over 120 people at the local
crab processing facility. It is also the gateway
to the
National Historic Site of Battle Harbour.
