Summary

[edit]
Description

Rocky Harbour, Newfoundland. Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse, seen here, stands at the entrance to Bonne Bay, a bit over 2 miles (about 3.6km) northwest of downtown Rocky Harbour. It was in 1889 when G. C. Fearn, the local representative to the Newfoundland House of Assembly, pleaded to his colleagues for a better navigational aid than the ad hoc setup of townspeople donating oil to a local fisherman who kept a lamp in his own home - but the lighthouse was not inaugurated until 1898, after a protracted period of construction. However, it also served a second necessary role, as a signal station where messages to and from ships in the bay were relayed by semaphore. Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse was fully automated in 1969; as for the keeper's quarters, it served as a private residence for a period before coming under the ownership of the national park, which now uses it to house interpretive exhibits on local history.

Rocky Harbour, Terre-Neuve. Le Phare du cap Lobster-Cove, qu'on voit ici, est situé à l'entrée de la baie Bonne, environ 3,6 kilomètres au nord-ouest du centre-ville de Rocky Harbour. C'était en 1889 quand G. C. Fearn, représentant local à la Chambre d'assemblée de Terre-Neuve, a plaidé auprès de ses collègues pour une meilleure aide à la navigation que la configuration ad hoc des citadins qui faisaient don de l'huile à un pêcheur local qui a gardé une lampe dans sa propre maison. Mais la phare n'a pas été inauguré jusqu'en 1898, suite d'une longue période de construction. Cependant, il servait aussi un seconde rôle nécessaire, comme un sémaphore où les messages à destination et en provenance des navires dans la baie étaient relayés. Le Phare du cap Lobster-Cove a été entièrement automatisé en 1969; quant à la maison du gardien, elle a servi comme résidence privée pendant une période avant de passer sous la propriété du parc national, qui l'utilise aujourd'hui pour abriter des expositions interprétatives sur l'histoire locale.

Rocky Harbour, Terranova. El Faro del Cabo Lobster Head, que se ve aquí, se ubica a la entrada de la Bahía Bonne, unos 3,6 kilómetros al noroeste del centro de Rocky Harbour. Era en 1889 cuando G. C. Fearn, representante local de la Cámara de Asamblea de Terranova, les suplicó a sus colegas para una mejor ayuda a la navegación que la configuración ad hoc de los lugareños que donaban aceite a un pescador local que guardaba una lámpara en su propia casa. Pero la faro no se puso en marcha hasta 1898, tras un período prolongado de construcción. Sin embargo, también se desempeñó un segundo papel necesario, como una estación de señal donde los mensajes hacia y desde los barcos en la bahía se retransmitían por semáforo. El Faro del Cabo Lobster Head se automatizó completamente en 1969; en cuanto a la casa del farero, servía como residencia privada durante un período antes de venir bajo la propiedad del parque nacional, que hoy la utiliza para albergar exhibiciones interpretativas sobre la historia local.
