Sint-Johannes de Doperbasiliek (St. John's)

De Kathedrale Basiliek van Sint-Johannes de Doper (Engels: Basilica (Cathedral) of St. John the Baptist), meestal kortweg de Sint-Johannes de Doperbasiliek genoemd, is een kerkgebouw in de Oost-Canadese stad St. John's. Het is de kathedraal van het Aartsbisdom St. John's en de belangrijkste Rooms-Katholieke kerk van de provincie Newfoundland en Labrador. De kathedrale basiliek is erkend als een National Historic Site of Canada. De kathedraal was afgewerkt in 1855 en was op dat moment het grootste kerkgebouw in Noord-Amerika. Het is daarnaast het op een na grootste kerkgebouw in Canada, na het Oratorium van de Heilige Jozef in Montréal. Sinds 1955 draagt de kathedraal de eretitel van basiliek. Geschiedenis De bouw, die bij aanvang onder toezicht stond van bisschop Michael Anthony Fleming, was toentertijd het grootste bouwproject in de geschiedenis van de Kolonie Newfoundland. In mei 1839 begon men met de uitgravingen en in 1841 werd de eerste steen gelegd. Op 9 september 1855 was de kathedraal officieel afgewerkt. De kathedraal was en blijft van groot belang voor de grote Ierse gemeenschap in St. John's (en Newfoundland als geheel). De kathedraal is een van de weinige gebouwen die de Grote brand van 1892 overleefde. In 1955 kreeg ze van Paus Pius XII bij haar honderdjarig bestaan de eretitel van basilica minor. Datzelfde jaar werd een groot pijporgel in het gebouw geïnstalleerd ter herdenking van de parochianen die sneuvelden in beide wereldoorlogen. Sinds 1983 is het gebouw erkend als een National Historic Site of Canada. Galerij Trivia De basiliek maakt deel uit van het Kerkdistrict St. John's, dat net als de kathedraal erkend is als National Historic Site. Het gebouw is een van de vroegste voorbeelden van de Lombardisch-neoromaanse architectuur in Noord-Amerika. Het voor de altaren gebruikte travertijn is overschot van de steen gebruikt voor de 19e-eeuwse decoratiewerken aan het hoogaltaar van de basiliek van Sint-Paulus buiten de Muren in Rome.

Basilika Unserer Lieben Frau von der Immerwährenden Hilfe (Labrador City)

Die Basilika Unserer Lieben Frau von der Immerwährenden Hilfe (englisch Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help) ist eine Kirche in Labrador City in der kanadischen Provinz Neufundland und Labrador. Die römisch-katholische Pfarrkirche im Bistum Corner Brook und Labrador hat das Patrozinium der Heiligen Maria, Mutter von der immerwährende Hilfe. Sie ist eine ehemalige Kathedrale und trägt die Titel einer Basilica minor. Geschichte Der Oblatenbruder Jacques Laperriere aus Schefferville feierte am Ort die erste Messe zu Weihnachten 1959. Sie fand in einer Bergwerksgarage des neuen Minenstandorts statt, an dem dann 1961 Labrador City gegründet wurde. Theodore Roussel, OMI, wurde 1960 erster Pfarrer. Er leitete den Bau der Kirche, die 1962 eröffnet werden konnte. Auf Ersuchen von Bischof Peter Alfred Sutton, OMI, verfügte Papst Paul VI. 1976, dass die Kirche neben der Kathedrale in Schefferville zur Konkathedrale für das Bistum Labrador City-Schefferville werden sollte. Als der Bergbau in Schefferville eingestellt wurde, wurde der Bischofssitz 1980 nach Labrador City verlegt, wodurch die Kirche Unserer Lieben Frau von der Immerwährenden Hilfe zur Kathedrale erhoben wurde. 2007 verlieh Papst Benedikt XVI. der Kathedrale zusätzlich den Rang einer Basilica minor. Sie war die zweite Basilika in der Provinz und die einundzwanzigste in Kanada. Durch die Zusammenlegung zum neuen Bistum Corner Brook und Labrador verlor die Kirche im gleichen Jahr aber den Status als Kathedrale. Die Kirche wird weiter vom Orden der Oblaten betreut. Gebäude Die Basilika ist ein zweigeschossiges postmodernes Gebäude mit einer Bruchsteinfassade und einem Satteldach. Der Glockenturm steht rechts neben dem vorderen Eingang und beherbergt drei Glocken, die 2002 gesegnet wurden. Weblinks Website der Pfarrgemeinde Einzelnachweise

Jeddore Lake

Der Jeddore Lake ist ein Stausee im Süden der Insel Neufundland in der kanadischen Provinz Neufundland und Labrador. Stausee Der Jeddore Lake bedeckt eine Wasserfläche von 177 km². Einschließlich zweier großer zentral gelegener Inseln umfasst der See knapp 200 km². Der See liegt auf einer Höhe von etwa 179 m. Ursprünglich floss der Salmon River vom oberstrom gelegenen Round Pond durch mehrere Seen und mündete in eine Seitenbucht der Bay d’Espoir. Durch dessen Aufstau 16 km oberhalb der Mündung sowie weiterer Dammbauten weiter östlich entstand der heutige Stausee. Durch die Errichtung weiterer Dämme und Kanäle wurde das Einzugsgebiet auf eine Fläche von 5910 km² vergrößert und reicht bis zum 120 km weiter westlich gelegenen Victoria Lake. Wasserkraftwerk Bay d’Espoir Das Wasserkraftwerk Bay d’Espoir () wurde am 15. August 1967 durch Premierminister Joey Smallwood offiziell eröffnet. Anfangs hatte das Kraftwerk 4 Einheiten mit insgesamt 300 MW Leistung. 1970 wurde das Kraftwerk um zwei weitere Einheiten mit insgesamt 150 MW ergänzt. 1977 kam schließlich noch eine letzte Einheit mit 150 MW hinzu. Somit verfügt das Kraftwerk über 7 Einheiten mit einer Gesamtleistung von 604 MW. Die Turbinen sind auf zwei Kraftwerksgebäude verteilt. Diese besitzen jeweils einen eigenen Zulaufkanal. Die genutzte Fallhöhe beträgt 176 m. Die Ausbauwassermenge liegt bei 397 m³/s. Ein 4,4 km langer Ableitungskanal führt das Wasser unterhalb des Kraftwerks zum Kopfende der nahe gelegenen Bucht Bay d’Espoir. Dort befindet sich die Gemeinde Milltown-Head of Bay d’Espoir. Betreiber der Anlage ist Newfoundland und Labrador Hydro, eine Tochtergesellschaft von Nalcor Energy. Die jährliche Energieproduktion liegt bei 2.650 GWh. Somit ist es das größte Wasserkraftwerks Neufundlands. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Jeddore Lake bei Natural Resources Canada
Bay d'Espoir Hydroelectric Power Station

The Bay D'Espoir Hydroelectric Development, built by the Newfoundland and Labrador Power Commission is located on the south coast of Newfoundland near the rural community of Bay d'Espoir. It was the second major hydroelectric project undertaken on Newfoundland. History The hydroelectric potential of this area was known by the early 1920s but its development was not seriously considered until 1954 when British Newfoundland Development Corporation (BRINCO) became interested in the site. In 1957 a Shawinigan Engineering survey confirmed the feasibility of building a hydroelectric plant. By 1959 BRINCO had set up a subsidiary, Southern Newfoundland Power and Development Corporation, to carry out the project. However, the subsidiary was unable to attract industrial customers to the area; this, it felt, was necessary before undertaking the project, so in 1964 it sold all its rights and assets to the Newfoundland Government. The government, by taking over the project, became eligible for a $20 million grant from the Atlantic Development Board a Federal Government agency. The engineering and construction work was carried out by ShawMont Newfoundland Engineering, a joint venture company formed by Shawinigan Engineering and Montreal Engineering in 1964. The Bay D'Espoir Hydroelectric Development was undertaken to provide the province with a large source of low-cost electric power which would allow the island's utilities to extend their services, stimulate the expansion of the industries already in the province and attract new industries to Newfoundland and Labrador. The Electric Reduction Company of Canada Industries Limited (ERCO), phosphorus plant at Long Harbour and the Come by Chance Oil Refinery at Come by Chance were built partially because of the availability of cheap power. Units 1 through 4 went online between 1967 and 1968, with each unit having a rated capacity of 75 MW. Generating unit 2 underwent a major refurbishment during the summer of 2010, including a stator rewind, rotor pole re-insulation and protection upgrade. This project was the first stator rewind on a unit of this size in Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro's history. Design The headwaters of the Bay d'Espoir system begin at Victoria Lake at an approximate elevation of 320 metres. Through a man-made array of dams and canals, this water is directed to generating plants at Granite Canal, Upper Salmon and, finally, 150 km from Victoria Lake to its final tidewater destination at Bay d'Espoir. Water is collected, stored and diverted from a number of drainage areas between Victoria Lake and Long Pond, the forebay for the two Bay d'Espoir generating stations. The seven generating units at Bay d'Espoir utilize approximately 176 m of head to produce a rated output of 613.4 MW with a rated flow of 397 m3/s. The plant produces an average of 2,657 GWh annually, making it the largest hydroelectric plant on Newfoundland. References External links Bay d'Espoir Hydroelectric Generating Facility website
ГЕС Bay d’Espoir

ГЕС Bay d'Espoir — гідроелектростанція на канадському острові Ньюфаундленд. Знаходячись після ГЕС Аппер-Салмон, становить нижній ступінь дериваційного гідровузла, який використовує ресурс зі сточища ряду річок, що мають устя на південному та північному узбережжях острова. Відпрацьований на ГЕС Аппер-Салмон ресурс потрапляє до Вест-Салмон, правого витоку річки Салмон, котра впадає до затоки Іст-Бей. Остання є одним з бічних відгалужень на заході фіорду Bay d'Espoir — глибоко врізаного у суходіл продовження затоки Hermitage Bay, котра в свою чергу є частиною естуарію річки Святого Лаврентія. При цьому за кілька десятків кілометрів від устя Салмон проходить неподалік від уриву плато, оберненого до основної, східної частини Bay d'Espoir, що створило гарні умови для спорудження дериваційної схеми. З метою створення водосховища Салмон перекрили кам'яно-накидною греблею з моренним ядром висотою 40 метрів та довжиною 192 метри, яка потребувала 469 тис. м3 породи (та ще 9,5 тис. м3 бетону для облаштування водоскиду). Крім того, звели три допоміжні земляні споруди для закриття сідловин. Більша з них при висоті 40 метрів та довжині 762 метри вміщує 1241 тис. м3 породи, а дві менші при висоті по 11 метрів та загальній довжині 701 метр потребували 185 тис. м3 матеріалу. Разом з греблею вони утримують водосховище Jeddore Lake (воно ж Лонг-Понд) із об'ємом 453 млн м3 та припустимим коливанням рівня в операційному режимі між позначками 178,3 та 180,7 метра НРМ. Зі сховища на схід прокладено підвідний канал довжиною біля 2,4 км, який перетинає водорозділ із долиною струмка Northwest Brook (впадає у східну частину Bay d'Espoir). Сформований з використанням природних елементів рельєфу, канал має значну ширину та завершується дамбою висотою 28 метрів та довжиною 1128 метрів. Будівництво цієї траси потребувало екскавації 700 тис. м3 породи та відсипки 840 тис. м3 для створення утримувальних споруд. Далі ресурс подається до розташованих на березі Northwest Brook двох машинних залів через напірні водоводи завдовжки 1,2 км. Прокладені для першої черги три лінії мають спадаючий діаметр від 5,2 до 4,1 метра та сполучені з трьома вирівнювальними резервуарами надземного типу. Останні сягають висоти у 113 метрів та складаються із ферменої конструкції і розташованого на ній баку з діаметром 7,6 метра. Введена у експлуатацію в 1967—1970 роках перша черга включає шість турбін типу Френсіс потужністю 75 МВт. Запущена у 1977-му друга черга складається з однієї турбіни потужністю 154 МВт. Обладнання використовує напір у 176 метрів та забезпечує виробництво 2650 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Для повного використання перепаду висот між сховищем і затокою Bay d'Espoir русло струмка Northwest Brook поглибили та перетворили на відвідний канал довжиною 4,5 км та шириною по дну 18 метрів, при цьому знадобилась вибірка 1,2 млн м3 породи. Видача продукції відбувається по ЛЕП, розрахованій на роботу під напругою 230 кВ. Примітки
Belle Isle Northeast Light

Belle Isle Northeast Light is a 27-metre (89 ft) tall, 12-sided flying buttress lighthouse located on Belle Isle, Newfoundland, which was built in 1905. It is one of three lighthouses on the island and was maintained by the Canadian Government despite the fact that Newfoundland did not join Confederation until 1949. It was designed by William P. Anderson as one in a series of nine buttressed lighthouses built in Canada around 1910. Its light characteristic is a white flash occurring every eleven seconds. The lightsource is placed at a focal plane of 42 metres (138 ft) above sea level. A fog signal consisting of a single blast may be sounded every 30 seconds if needed.

Beth El Synagogue (Newfoundland)

Beth El Synagogue is a Conservative synagogue in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is the only synagogue in Newfoundland, and the easternmost synagogue in North America. The Hebrew Congregation of Newfoundland was founded in 1909 as an Orthodox congregation meeting in rented spaces in town. The earliest members were Jews from the United States; later, many Russian Jews who had defected from the Soviet Union became members during the Cold War. The current synagogue building at the corner of Elizabeth and Downing was constructed from 1959 to 1961, and features include an open courtyard. Edmond de Rothschild was made an honorary member of the synagogue in 1966 for his contributions to its construction. In 2001, the building underwent extensive renovations. As of 2008, the congregation had 25 member families. The president was Dr. Michael Paul. References
Bishop Feild College

Bishop Feild College (originally Church of England Academy; formerly Church of England College and Bishop Feild School; currently Bishop Feild Elementary), founded in 1844, is a school in St. John's, Newfoundland. Founded as the Church of England Academy, it was renamed in 1892 as the Church of England College in 1892, before its 1894 name change to Bishop Feild College. The renaming was in honor of Bishop Edward Feild, a school inspector and second bishop of Newfoundland. Originally an Anglican-affiliated boys school of the Newfoundland Cathedral, it later also admitted girls. BFC has functioned as a middle school and secondary school, but it now only admits students through grade 6. An independent private school until the 1960s, it eventually joined the school board. It is a member of the International League of Peaceful Schools. It currently teaches approximately 350 children in grades Kindergarten to Grade 6 that offers an English language stream as well as an Early French Immersion Program. Early headmasters of BFC came from England. Ralph Robinson Wood was the first headmaster born in Newfoundland. BFC alumni are referred to as "Old Feildians". The Feildian was a monthly magazine pertaining to BFC and other Church of England schools in Newfoundland. Its objectives were to foster school spirit while chronicling the school's affairs through content such as correspondence, news, sports, and an alumni section. Established in 1893, it ceased publication in 1960. It was the first publication of its kind in Newfoundland. Building The current building, located at 46 Bond Street and built in 1926 by Anglin and Norcross, was designed by the architect Eustace G. Bird in Collegiate Gothic Revival style. This style was typical for Church of England buildings that were commissioned under Bishop Feild as he sought a "high-church" tone set around the Anglican Church. The building plan is a rectangular, long façade. Its defining elements include crenellation and rusticated stone. Indiana limestone is used, with limestone quoining at corners. At the entranceway, there are places that represent the coasts of arms of the school, city, province, and the diocese. Large windows are also located at the entranceway. Keystone trim can be found around windows. BFC was named as a Registered Heritage Structure by the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador in June 1994.

Cartwright Air Station

Cartwright Air Station (ADC ID: N-27) is a closed General Surveillance Radar station. It is located 233.7 km (145.2 mi) east-northeast of CFB Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. 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 (USAF). It was used initially by the Northeast Air Command, which stationed the 922d Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron on the station on 1 October 1953. The station functioned as a Ground-Control Intercept (GCI) and warning station. As a GCI station, the squadron's role was to guide interceptor aircraft toward unidentified intruders picked up on the unit's radar scopes. It was equipped with the following radars: Search Radar: AN/FPS-3C, AN/FPS-502, AN/FPS-20A, AN/FPS-87A, AN/FPS-93A Height Radar: AN/TPS-502, AN/FPS-6B, AN/FPS-90 The station was reassigned to the USAF Air Defense Command on 1 April 1957, and was given designation "N-27". In 1963, the site was connected to the Manual Data Center at Goose AFB. In addition to the main facility, Cartwright operated several AN/FPS-14 manned Gap Filler sites: Cut Throat Island Air Station (N-27A): 54°29′47″N 057°08′00″W Spotted Island Air Station (N-27B): 53°31′05″N 055°44′56″W Fox Harbour Air Station (N-27C): 52°22′12″N 055°39′52″W On 18 June 1968, the USAF transferred control of the site to the Canadian Armed Forces. It was inactivated, closed and the remains of the station are abandoned.
