Day 34 Sept 6 2014 Tors Cove NFLD
The morning
found us at Cape Spears which is the most easterly point in Canada. There was a light house there as well as some
old concrete bunkers and the barrels of 2 disappearing guns from world war 2. After we left the Cape we took the ferry to
Bell Island so we could go on a tour of the Bell Island #2 mine. It was an interesting tour which descended
650 feet into the mine. The reason for the
650 foot mark is that the mine is flooded.
The tour guide explained a bit of the history of the mine as well as
some of the various mining techniques used over the life of the mine.
