She was actually here last week, but i didn't have a chance to wrote about her. This fishing boat is actually from the Bay Verte area, and doesn't make trips into St. John's very often.

Her fishing trips usually have her at sea for four or five days, returning to port to offload their catch of turbot, shrimp or crab, and then heading out again until the season ends. She's 14 years old, but has been so well cared for that you wouldn't know it to look at her.

We are finally getting into cruise ship season! That time of year when downtown is filled with tourists from all over the world, and ships tower over the city's skyline. This week saw a couple of these vessels arrive in our harbour, starting with...

In The Harbour: August 1st-7th (Montreal Edition)

Happy Friday everyone! I hope this week has gone well for you all! As promised, here is a special edition of This Week, featuring the beautiful harbour front of Montreal, Quebec! Just a quick note before we start off... The lovely folks at VOCM (our local AM news for those of you not from Newfoundland) busted the myth of the Palembang and her presence in the harbour this week. She has been brought down to recover the Turrett Cover Plate from these Terra Nova Field. It was hoisted onto the deck of the Palembang just over a week ago, at which time she returned to St. John's and has been towering over downtown ever since.

Now, onto Montreal!

In The Harbour: July 25th-31st

This week saw an assortment of ships come along. I've picked three that I thought were particularly cool to feature this week. Additionally, the featured picture is of a tug moving a platform across the harbour, which happened early this week. I know the tug was strapped to the side of the platform for ages before it went to work this month, but that's about all I know. If you have any more information about it, please let me know!

Now, for our first ship, we have...

It was a beautiful week of hot Canadian summer weather! St. John's doesn't usually get weather like this, so it's definitely been welcome! And in port to enjoy this fine weather were the following Canadian ships and their crews...

In The Harbour: July 6th-July 11th

As I mentioned in my introduction, the diversity of the ships that come through the Narrows is something that keeps drawing me back to the harbour. This week, I'm doing a breakdown of some ones I found particularly interesting.
