Two Carbonear folks on this MUN Jr. basketball team. Can you name them

When, where ,and who?

Thanks to Lisa Trunbull for the donation of these two original pictures today. The man is Hon. John Rorke died abt. 1896. He built the present day Stone Jug. The lady may be his wife? We will archive them in our collection!

This is an interesting read describing one of Carbonear’s own sea captains Captain Guy Earle . Guy’s son , Dr. Phil Earle has recently written a book about his father and his journeys called I’ll Go the Length of Myself. Phil lives here in Carbonear . After retiring as a medical doctor , he has spent much of his time researching and recording the history of Newfoundland & Labrador’s fishing history. To anyone around this area Captain Guy Earle ranks up there as a very colourful person and expert master mariner . One of our residents whose stories are now written down and will not be lost.

Some history on our first aerial ladder truck in Carbonear.

Who is the person in this picture? Sent by Lisa Turnbull , found in a piece of Carbonear furniture she bought.

I had a request for a picture of Chesley Oates’ house (1812-1995) on Janes Ave Carbonear. Can anyone help?
