New Bonaventure, Newfoundland and Labrador
Encyclopedia
Old Bonaventure is a small outport and extraordinary natural harbour in the Trinity Bight area of Trinity Bay that was originally settled by English emigrants seeking a new, if very challenging, life in the "New Founde Lande". It had a population of 85 in 1951 and 100 in 1956. Old Bonaventure's recently deepened natural harbour today serves as a point of delivery for a variety of off-shore fishing boats. "Old Bonaventure" was simply "Bonavenute" until the arrival of new settlers or "planters" lead to the creation of New Bonaventure which absorbed the newcomers from England in the 19th century.
