Battle Harbour 13
Those of you who have been on this
list for some time know that I enjoy photographing boats and old houses. Battle
Harbour had plenty of both when I was there in July, 2004. In fact the workers
even affectionately called one section of the community "Ghost
Town"
Recently I uploaded a video entitled "Ghost Town" - Battle Harbour to my Blog and I received a
message asking me if I would consider changing the name of the video because it
might give tourists the wrong impression. The photos in the video show the old
houses, fishing stages and boats as they were in 2004. As I stated earlier in
this series, I assume several of the buildings in that video have been restored
by now.
Here is a comment posted on that video from Peter Bull, Executive
Director of Battle Harbour:
Hello Bruce. Nice photos. I would like anyone who might watch this video to know that
since 2004 there have been many improvements and upgrades in Battle Harbour. We
are anything but a "ghost town". We are now a vibrant tourist destination with
plenty to do and see. And yes, you might see a ghost, but it certainly is not
the town :-)
Feel free to share today's photos with family and friends.
