'Cape Spear from Signal Hill' - St. John's NL |
I see wooden sailing ships heading to sea. Out on the horizon a fleet of warships approaches. A battle ensues: cannons firing, masts and sails falling, smoke rising. Standing atop Signal Hill, St. John's NL, in 2013, the history of this place evokes vivid imagery.
St. John's harbour is well protected from the Atlantic. Signal Hill is the perfect lookout. It is no surprise there has been a long history of battles for this coveted harbour.

The history fascinates. The beauty of the landscape captivates. The imagination is piqued.
