Fishing Ships Harbour rests upon the rugged, salt-sprayed Atlantic coast where the land yields abruptly to the cold, churning deep. It lies 36.2 km east-north-east of Port Hope Simpson, NL (from Port Hope Simpson, NL: bearing 79°T), and is situated 5.8 km north-west of Francis Harbour. The terrain surrounding Fishing Ships Harbour is defined by the proximity of Break-Heart Hill, a sentinel rising above the exposed shoreline that catches the pale, bruised light of the northern dusk. Further inland, the landscape opens toward the path of the Gilbert River, which winds through the barrens some twenty-three kilometers away. Here, the air carries a sharp, metallic clarity that clings to the moss and lichen, turning the rocky outcrops into islands of grey stone amidst a sea of stunted growth. The silence of the coast is vast, interrupted only by the rhythmic pulse of the tide against the jagged granite edges of the harbour. Generations have looked to these frigid waters for sustenance, establishing a way of life dictated by the seasonal movements of the sea and the shifting temperament of the wind. Fishing Ships Harbour once served as a vital point for those harvesting the bounty of the North Atlantic, with the economy turning entirely upon the success of the catch and the resilience of those who braved the open swells. While the intensity of the industry has ebbed, the character of the place remains hardened by the necessity of self-reliance and an intimate knowledge of the coast. The traditions here are held in the quiet endurance of the buildings that cling to the slopes, standing firm against the gales that sweep in from the horizon, marking a human presence that has long learned to exist in harmony with the indifferent strength of the sea.
