In 1871, John Chislett and Benjamin Simms sailed out of Fortune Bay, Newfoundland in search of fish stocks and a sheltered port. The first colonists to settle in Harrington, they were later joined by the Anderson, Bobbitt, Cox, and Strickland families along with others.
This is also where they filmed the movie “La grande Seduction” or in English “seducing Dr.Lewis” or something like that…
The entire town is built on the rocky shore to bring them as close as possible to the sea. This means that they really cannot have any roads. in the 1960’s a network of boardwalks were built to act as the main roadway. The locals use ATVs to move around town. No cars here. Finally a place for all of those “Plateux-ites” to call home lol.
Oh! and thier speedlimits are VERY precise.
We also found a bar in town to have a beer while we waited for the boat to load and unload.
