Description
Ferryland: The Colony of Avalonia by B. D. Fardy is a fascinating local history of one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s oldest settlements. Established in 1620 by Sir George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore, Ferryland became Newfoundland’s second successful colony and the centre of his Colony of Avalonia.
The book traces Ferryland’s long history from its early appearance on maps as Forillon, through its use as a French and Portuguese fishing station, to its growth under English influence and the Grand Banks cod fishery. It also reflects the experiences of Irish settlers who came to Newfoundland and helped shape the communities of the Avalon Peninsula.
Rich in regional history, settlement stories, and coastal heritage, Ferryland is a strong choice for readers of Newfoundland history, genealogy, Canadiana, Atlantic Canada history, and books about fishing communities, early colonies, and local heritage.
