Abandoned house, radio beacon operator, Flowers Island, Flowers Cover, Newfoundland BW

Off the top of the northwest coast of the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland there is one of the best sheltered harbours on this rocky, inhospitable coast, called Flower's Cove. It was name by Captain James Cook, on his 1764 mapping expedition, for the water breaking over the numerous offshore rocks that seamen called flowers in the old days (Fiore D'Aqua).
