"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime"-MARK TWAIN

Random Passage

 I visited another location close to Trinity. Known as the Random Passage Site. It was built 25 years or so ago to replicate a small cod fishing settlement of the 1800's. There was a mini series filmed there for a season or two of the same name. It consisted of a number of cabins, cod processing house, drying racks, merchants office and home, church, and assorted out buildings. Come along as we tour.

This Anglican church was real. It was at the beginning of the trail to the Random Passage site. I thought it was beautiful.




Garden fence.


School house.






Ned and Mary's cabin.







Just a fireplace, without a chimney.  Smoke exited through a hole in the earthen roof.





Merchant's cabin.







Salting house and drying racks of salted cod.




The church.







The following pictures are just random shots. All of these show just how the people whose livelihood depended on cod lived and worked.







Moving on....jc
