Pippy Park

Pippy Park is a 3,400-acre (14 km2) urban park located in the city of St. John's, Newfoundland. The park is a popular camping, hiking and recreational park within the city, and incorporates numerous groomed and wilderness-style hiking/skiing trails, a miniature golf course, a 9-hole and an 18-hole golf course, a driving range, and a public access trailer park with limited tent camping facilities. Trails within the park link to the Grand Concourse walking trails. Pippy Park incorporates the main campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland and the Memorial University of Newfoundland Botanical Garden at Oxen Pond, as well as the Ridge Road campus of the Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland and the Ridge Road and Prince Philip Drive campuses of the College of the North Atlantic. The park also includes the Confederation Building complex, which houses the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly and numerous offices of the Provincial Government. The park is administered by the C. A. Pippy Park Commission, a Crown Corporation of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The eight members of the commission include representatives of the Provincial Government, the University, the City of St. John's, the Pippy family, and landowners and residents within the park boundaries. Pippy Park is also home to the Fluvarium, an environmental education centre which offers a cross section view of Nagle's Hill Brook. The Fluvarium is not an aquarium in that none of the fish are in captivity - the building offers an underwater view of a natural river. The word Fluvarium comes from the Latin Fluvius (flowing water) and means literally "windows on a stream." References External links Official Site Fluvarium

Railway Coastal Museum

Das Railway Coastal Museum (deutsch „Eisenbahn-Küsten-Museum“) ist ein kanadisches Eisenbahnmuseum. Es steht unweit der Atlantikküste in St. John’s, der Hauptstadt der kanadischen Provinz Neufundland und Labrador. Das Museum befindet sich im inzwischen aufgelassenen Empfangsgebäude eines stillgelegten Bahnhofs, der im damals typischen Stil für kanadische Bahnhöfe aus lokalem Granit erbaut und im Jahr 1903 fertiggestellt wurde. Das heutige Museum nutzt das gesamte Erdgeschoss und den ehemaligen Bahnsteig im hinteren Teil des Gebäudes. Mithilfe eines knapp 30 m langen Dioramas wird den Besuchern dort das Innere eines Reisezugwagens aus den 1940er-Jahren vermittelt. Schwerpunkt der Ausstellung ist die Geschichte der Eisenbahn in Nordamerika mit einem besonderen Fokus auf Neufundland. Über hundert Jahre lang erschloss die Newfoundland Railway die Insel. Sie existierte von 1881 bis 1988 und betrieb ein Schmalspurnetz mit einer Spurweite von 3½ Fuß, entsprechend 1066,8 mm, und einer Streckenlänge von bis zu 1458 km. Auch die hier dazugehörige Küstenschifffahrt spielte eine wichtige Rolle. Küstenboote und Eisenbahn gemeinsam halfen über viele Jahrzehnte, die natürliche Isolation der auf der Insel Neufundland lebenden Menschen zu lindern. Dies betraf stets in extremer Weise die weit im Osten nahezu isolierte Halbinsel Avalon. Entsprechend präsentiert das Museum neben dem Ausstellungsteil zur Eisenbahn (Railway) einen weiteren zur Küste (Coastal), der auch den wichtigen Fährdienst zum kanadischen Festland thematisiert. Das Museum ist im Sommer täglich von 10 bis 17 Uhr geöffnet. Mile Zero Das Museum liegt am Fernwanderweg Trans Canada Trail, der großteils auf den ehemaligen Strecken der Newfoundland Railway verläuft. Das Museum ist dabei als Mile Zero („Kilometer Null“) ausgewiesen. Vom Museum aus kann man weit nach Westen wandern bis Clover Point auf Vancouver Island. Alternativ kann man dem Weg südlich Richtung Cappahayden folgen oder sich nach Osten wenden. Dann erreicht man nach knapp 8 km (Luftlinie) Cape Spear und damit den östlichsten Punkt Nordamerikas.

Railway Coastal Museum

The Railway Coastal Museum is a transport museum located in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is located in the historic Newfoundland Railway terminal on Water Street and contains exhibits detailing the history of the Newfoundland Railway and the history of coastal water transportation in the province. The building was designated a National Historic Site in 1988 for its role in commemorating the important role played by the Newfoundland Railway in the social, economic and political history of the province. It was also designated a Heritage Railway Station in 1990. The museum has 40 themed exhibits, a virtual museum, artwork and displays highlighting the history of the railway beds in Newfoundland and Labrador. The museum opened in 2003 on a grant from the Johnson Family Foundation, which later turned over the museum to the City of St. John's. The museum is also noteworthy as "Mile Zero" of the Trans-Canada Trail. In 2020, it was announced by St. John's City Council that the museum would close due to budget cuts. In 2021, it was announced that the museum would be purchased by the Genesis Coworking Centre affiliated with the Memorial University-owned incubator Genesis Centre. The Railway Coastal Museum will continue on a seasonal basis. With the closure of the Newfoundland Railway, the terminal is no longer connected to any tracks, which were all torn up and the rails put to other uses. The museum does not own or display any rolling stock as it is now surrounded by development. The museum is affiliated with: CMA, CHIN, and Virtual Museum of Canada.

Ramah, Newfoundland and Labrador

Ramah was a small mission run by the Moravian Church in northern Labrador from 1871 until 1908. It was located on Ramah Bay. Ramah Chert Ramah Bay is the site of an uncommon semi-translucent light-grey stone with dark banding called Ramah chert. The Ramah chert crops out in a narrow geological bed stretching from Saglek Fiord to Nachvak. At Ramah Bay the highest quality stone, for flaking chipped stone tools (mostly bifaces and projectile points), is most readily accessible. Discovered by pioneering Native American groups, which archaeologists identify as the Maritime Archaic Culture, around 7000 years ago, the stone was highly valued for its functional as well as spiritual qualities. Ramah chert was the preferred raw material for the Maritime Archaic Indians (ca. 7000 to 3500 years ago) and for succeeding populations of Dorset paleoeskimos (ca. 2200 to 800 years ago) and by the immediate ancestors of the Innu (from about 2000 years ago to contact with the Europeans in the 18th century). Ramah chert was traded as far south as New England and even Chesapeake Bay and west to the Great Lakes which is documented in a report by Stephen Loring.

Victoria Lake (Neufundland)

Der Victoria Lake ist ein See in der kanadischen Provinz Neufundland und Labrador. Lage Der Victoria Lake befindet sich im Südwesten der Insel Neufundland. Der 150 km² große See erstreckt sich in WSW-ONO-Richtung über eine Länge von 40,5 km. Die maximale Breite liegt bei 2,4 km. Ursprünglich durchfloss der Victoria River den See in nordöstlicher Richtung und entwässerte ihn zum nördlich gelegenen Beothuk Lake (ehemals bekannt als "Red Indian Lake"). Im Rahmen eines größeren Wasserkraftprojektes wurde der Abfluss durch einen Staudamm unterbrochen. Über einen Ableitungskanal gelangt nun das Wasser des Victoria Lake zum südlich benachbarten Burnt Pond, von welchem es weiter zum Granite Lake und zum Meelpaeg Lake geführt wird. Der Wasserspiegel des Victoria Lake liegt im Mittel bei 324,4 m. Er schwankt zwischen 321 m und 326,5 m. Das Einzugsgebiet des Sees beträgt schätzungsweise 1070 km².

Saint Anthony Air Station

Saint Anthony Air Station (ADC ID: N-26) is a closed General Surveillance Radar station. It is located 292.5 miles (470.7 km) north-northwest of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It was closed in 1968. History The site was established in 1953 as a General Surveillance Radar station, funded by the United States Air Force, one of the many that would make up the Pinetree Line of Ground-Control Intercept (GCI) radar sites. It was used initially by the Northeast Air Command 921st Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron, which was activated. It was equipped with the following radars: Search Radars: AN/FPS-3C, AN/FPS-502, AN/FPS-20A, AN/FPS-93A Height Radars: AN/TPS-502, AN/FPS-6B As a GCI base, the 921st's role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit's radar scopes. These interceptors were assigned to the 64th Air Division at Goose AFB, Labrador. The station was reassigned to the USAF Air Defense Command on 1 April 1957, and was given designation "N-26". In 1963, the site was connected to the Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) Direction Center (DC-31) at Goose AFB. In addition to the main facility, Saint Anthony operated an AN/FPS-14 manned Gap Filler site: La Scie Air Station (N-26B): 49°58′50″N 055°31′48″W (Det 2 921st AC&W) N-26B was built in 1957 about 150 km southeast of the main station and was closed in 1961. The town of La Scie, located about 5 km to the southwest provided living facilities to Detachment 2. The 921st AC&WS squadron was inactivated on 18 June 1968, and Saint Anthony AS was closed on 30 June. Today the site remains intact. It apparently has been unused and abandoned since its closure, some have been reduced to concrete foundations only.

St. Patrick's Church, St. John's

Saint Patrick's Church is a former Roman Catholic church in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. St. Patrick's Church closed in 2022. History The cornerstone of St. Patrick's Church was laid on September 17, 1855, by Bishop John T. Mullock and other distinguished clergy from Canada and the United States. American financier, Cyrus Field, contributed £1,000($107,123.88 in USD 2019) to help with construction costs. The church was designed in the late Gothic Revival, also termed Neo-Gothic, style by J.J. McCarthy, a prominent Irish architect, and was built by T. O'Brien, local architect and mason. In 1864 nine years after the cornerstone was laid, work officially began on the structure with the construction the foundation from stone taken from the Southside Hills in St. John's. Further problems prevented work on the project from advancing beyond the 1864 stage for a decade. Additional stone was donated in 1875 and construction began once more. Construction continued as funds and materials permitted and the church was completed in 1881. After more than two-and-a-half decades, St. Patrick's Church was consecrated on August 28, 1881. The church was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1990. In 1997 the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador declared St. Patrick's Church a Registered Heritage Structure. St. Patrick's Church was the tallest building in St. John's from 1888 to 1959 (71 years). St. Patrick's Church closed in 2022 after being sold as part of the archdiocese liquidating its holdings in an effort to raise money to compensate victims of abuse.

Twin Falls (Newfoundland and Labrador)

Twin Falls is the site of a hydroelectric power station developed by the British Newfoundland Development Corporation (Brinco) to deliver power to mining operations in Labrador City and Wabush. Commissioned in 1963, its operation ended in 1974. The station is located on the Unknown River, a tributary of the Churchill River that drains the central Labrador basin. Construction began in 1960. The river was dammed at Twin Falls to form the Ossokmanuan Reservoir. When finished in 1963, the station has a total capacity of 225 MW with two 115-mile (185 km) long transmission lines at 230,000 volts (or 230 kV). It cost $47.5 million (1963). Twin Falls power was essential to the later development at Churchill Falls. It helped open up the area and supplied the power required during the construction phase of the project. In the planning stage, however, it became apparent that greater capacity factor in the production of electricity could be achieved by diverting the flow of water from the Ossokmanuan Reservoir into the Smallwood Reservoir. Utilizing this water at the Churchill Falls plant enabled approximately three times as much electricity to be produced from the same volume of water. In July 1974 the Twin Falls plant was put into extended shutdown and the water diverted into the Smallwood Reservoir under an agreement with Churchill Falls Labrador Corporation Limited (CFLCo). Aerodrome Twin Falls Aerodrome is an abandoned airport located .350 NM (0.648 km; 0.403 mi) southeast of the Twin Falls Hydroelectric Power Station, in Labrador, Canada. References
Península d'Avalon

La península d'Avalon és una península de gran extensió (10.360 km²) que és a la part sud-est de l'illa de Terranova al Canadà. Hi habiten 257.223 persones, aproximadament el 51% de la població de Terranova el 2009, i on es troba la seva capital, St. John's. Està connectada a la resta de l'illa per un istme de 5 km d'ample. La badia de Placentia és el centre de la indústria pesquera de Terranova. S'hi troben fòssils del Precambrià. Aquesta península va ser un dels primers llocs de poblament europeu permanent d'Amèrica del nord; es va establir a Cuper's Cove, per part de George Calvert el 1610. El 1623, es va formar la província d'Avalon en imitació del vell Avalon de Somerset (Anglaterra); Calvert va voler que aquesta colònia fos un refugi per als catòlics romans perseguits a Anglaterra. El 1696, durant la Guerra del rei William, els francesos destruïren moltes viles angleses a la península d'Avalon. Referències Bibliografia Harding, Les. Exploring the Avalon. Jesperson, 1998.

Península de Avalon

La península de Avalon es una gran península (10 360 km2​) que se encuentra en el sureste de la isla de Terranova. Está habitada por 242.875 personas, aproximadamente el 49% de toda la población de Terranova.​ La península de Avalon tiene aproximadamente la forma de una estrella de cinco puntas, ya que se compone de cuatro penínsulas y está unida al resto por el istmo de Avalon, de sólo 5 km de ancho. En el noreste de la península se encuentra San Juan de Terranova, capital de la provincia canadiense de Terranova y Labrador. Cuenta con cuatro bahías, la bahía de la Trinidad, la bahía de Concepción, la bahía de Santa María y la bahía de Placentia. Desde el punto de vista geológico, la península de Avalon está formada por rocas volcánicas y rocas sedimentarias del Tiempo Precámbrico. El océano Atlántico abierto hoy día, 150 millones de años atrás, a raíz de la antigua cadena Caledoniana, que el antiguo sistema montañoso de la Era Paleozoica surgió de la interacción de los antiguos continentes Laurentia (la base de América del Norte) y Báltica (la base de las regiones del norte de Europa). La apertura, sin embargo, no coincide exactamente con la antigua sutura. Un análisis de los fósiles, demuestra que la península de Avalon, en realidad es geológicamente similar a Gales, a España y al norte de África. En otras palabras, la península de Avalon es diferente del resto del Terranova y similar a los territorios de lugares de la Unión Europea. De hecho, la península de Avalon también es geológicamente diferente de las tierras derivados de paleocontinente Báltica y da por sentado que perteneció a un pequeño auto-continente, llamado Avalonia. Richard Fortey ha sugerido que, durante el primer Ordovícico, Avalonia fue separándose por un océano Báltico bautizado como Tornquist.
