Ship Harbour - Ship Harbour Cemetery

Ship Harbour is known as the "Home of the Atlantic Charter". It is a small fishing village about 30 km from Placentia. The main cemetery is located on a hill behind the community church. It is in a very rocky location and a challenge to walk around. Most of the headstones are relatively new. The second cemetery is found along the coastal side of the main road through the community. It is overgrown by tall grass and small shrubs. Several of the headstones have been battered by the elements.

These headstones were read, recorded and transcribed by FRANK KING, July 2000. While I have endeavored to be as correct as humanly possible, there may be typographical errors.
