The first Europeans to reach the Americas were Vikings, one of the most renown of which was Leif Ericson. I can’t remember if this slab is in Newfoundland or on Cape Breton. But when I first discovered this place! The region is wave rich, and it’s the next destination beyond Nova Scotia.

The red crane is also useful for moving heavier vessels in and out of the sea.
