Panaromic view of historic Battle Harbour

Established by English merchants in the mid 1700's, Battle Harbour quickly became the unofficial capital of Labrador due to its proximity to the cod and seal fisheries. Changes in society and the fishery during the 20th century led to the gradual decline of Battle Harbour. Since 1992 the community has been restored. Over the years Battle Harbour has played host to medical pioneer Sir Wilfred Grenfell and artic explorer Commander Robert Peary. The mercantile premises and artifacts have many stories to tell. Visitors to Battle Harbour can actually live on site with accomodations provided in refurbished residences.
