Jan 1 - Dec 31
History is alive in St. Lawrence: the 1929 tidal wave swept away their livelihood, so the fishermen of St. Lawrence dug their way to a new future in mining. Ancient geological events left a buried treasure of minerals. In 1942 a WWII convoy of American war ships ran aground in gale-force winds, so local miners and their women launched a heroic rescue. Discover historical facts, geological features and their personal stories as you hike through the town and along the shores of the Burin Peninsula
