Travel from page 25 Numerous small fishing villages surround St. John’s,
springing up in the many small, well-protected harbors
that have easy access to the ocean. Puffins, whales and
caribou make up the bulk of the animal population in this
area. Moose and caribou were imported to Newfoundland
from the Canadian mainland, which has become a bit of
a problem because they have no natural predators.
Newfoundland was granted a coat of arms in 1637;
however, it was lost in antiquity. Rediscovered in 1928,
it was reinstated by the Newfoundland government. It’s
nice to find royalty in your family. It contains the Cross
of St. George, the lion and unicorn, and even two Beothuk
Indians, now an extinct tribe of Newfoundland.
St. Johns is one of the oldest settlements in North
America with European characteristics, and is an old-
world charm. Its people are eager to brag of their history
with their favorite saying: “There is more history here
than the rest of Canada put together.” I’m not going to get
into that battle. One thing is for sure: They live by their
own standards. Even their time is one-half hour different
than the adjacent time zone.
