Located on the Northeast coast of Newfoundland at the tip of the Eastport Peninsula where the Atlantic Ocean meets the land you will find the community of Salvage. First settled in 1600, Salvage has become one of the oldest continuous living communities in North America. Ancestors from England came here to fish. Today, fishing is still the backbone of Salvage survival. The rugged hills encircling a well protected harbour provides an attraction to tourists from all over the world.
Salvage is an ideal place for photographers and artists.
Modern times have made some changes to the community of Salvage, but a mixture of the old and the new makes it unique. Old traditions and values are still here. In 1993, a group of fishermen banded together to run an experimental cod farm in Bishop's Harbor, Salvage. The purpose behind the whole project was to determine how big codfish can really get and what types of water qualities they can tolerate. Sea Forest held courses in various parts of Newfoundland, including the Eastport Peninsula.
