About Our Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador

Our Harbour is a settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Our Harbour is located at 47.6103°N, 57.6094°W.

Our Harbour nestles in a broad, sheltering embrace of rugged coastline, where the dark, ancient rocks meet the restless, slate-grey sea. It lies 1.4 km south-east of Burgeo, NL (from Burgeo, NL: bearing 140°T), and is situated 4.5 km east of Upper Burgeo. The land rises steeply behind the settlement, a mosaic of scrubby spruce and wind-battered pine, their branches twisted into stoic shapes by the persistent Atlantic gales. Below, the houses, painted in cheerful blues, yellows, and reds, cling to the slopes like hardy wildflowers, their roofs catching the fleeting sunlight. The air here carries the sharp, clean scent of salt and damp earth, a constant reminder of the powerful, untamed ocean that shapes every aspect of life in Our Harbour. The echoes of generations of fishermen and their families are woven into the very fabric of Our Harbour, a settlement whose history is inextricably linked to the bounty and peril of the sea. For centuries, this sheltered inlet has served as a vital hub for cod fishing, its economy once driven by the arduous but rewarding labour of hauling nets and processing the catch. While the great cod stocks have diminished, the spirit of resourcefulness persists, with a smaller but dedicated fishing fleet still heading out each day, and a growing appreciation for the unique cultural heritage that has been preserved. The quiet hum of everyday life in Our Harbour is punctuated by the distant cry of gulls and the gentle lapping of waves against the shore, a timeless rhythm that has guided its inhabitants through seasons of both hardship and prosperity.
