The third photo shows squid that were brought to shore and stored in containers. I am also sending a photo taken in Glover's Harbour, Notre Dame Bay showing a life sized model of a giant squid that was caught by fishermen in 1878. Newspaper reports from the time described the length of the squid as 20 feet from the tip of its tail to it's beak. The tentacles were even longer - one measured 35 feet. Many giant squid have been found along the shores of our province since that time.

I never knew that Holyrood was the inspiration for "The Squid Jigging Ground" song. Seems odd, since it was written by A.R. Scammell when he was a teenager going to school in Change Islands. In fact the town of Change Islands claims they are the site of the famous squid jigging grounds from the song.
Sounds logical.
