We had to be at the ferry by 830 and we were there earlier and so was everyone else because the ferry actually left 10 minutes early. We drove our truck/trailer on but you are not allowed to stay in your vehicle so up on the deck we went. The photo above is the view of St Barbe’s Newfoundland as we approach the docks. We stayed at St Barbe’s RV Park which was a 2 minute drive from the ferry. RV Park is a bit of a misnomer as it was a huge gravel parking lot but we had stayed here before on another trip and it was okay. There is our trailer below on the right. It was $45 a night with electricity and water and there was showers and laundry in a building to the left.
After setting up, we drove to Pond Cove and got gas at $1.56 a litre, passed through some other little spots until we got to Englee. (population approximately 480)
They had this cute chair right by the water for tourists 
Trum horsing around 
A wrecked dock 
Some people have pet dogs….. 
A horrible story about 77 men who died on the ice while sealing because there ship left thinking they were on it 
We saw this sea spray and knew it was whales 
If you look closely, there are 2 whales out there. We could not get close and they were a long way away but still cool to see them 
A trail that we did not do 
Landscape 
An iceberg that we saw from a distance and I tried to get a photo out of the truck window as we were driving, not a great shot
While we were driving around Englee, a local told us to go to Conche to see the WWII plane wreck and so we did.
Heading to Conche 
A boardwalk leads to a plane wreck in a field beside the town, everyone survived 
It has been left as it looked when it crashed 
A small storage shed in the town
Stayed tuned for the only caribou I will see on this trip, or a part of one…..

If the historical picture of the crashed plane is true, people have been nibbling at the wreck, cause they look totally different.
Glad to see Trum is getting out!

Tofino is right, the aircraft is looking rather picked over. Hi Trum! I love the scenery way up there, beautiful and I’ve never seen an ice burg in person, they are amazing. I see plenty of Canadian Shield Rock there. 🇨🇦❤️

Yes I agree although why people would want old pieces of metal, I don’t know. It still amazes me that the pilot survived it. It is a beautiful area, the coastline was stunning. Icebergs are very impressive. Trum wanted out more, he likes attention 😀

Let Trum enjoy his fifteen minutes of fame. 👍🏻 Those chunks of metal will ultimately collect dust in someone’s garage I suppose. I bet the air was so clean and fresh up there, Susan!

Trum showed up three times on this trip! The sealing accident was horrible. Don’t they have a passenger manifest of some type to check before they leave the dock? Interesting they left the aircraft disaster as is, but with no deaths or serious injuries, I guess it was easier than getting a scrap metal hauler in to lug it away. The iceberg was cool (pun intended)!

I can’t understand how that many men got left behind. Two or three maybe but 77 is a lot. Yup Trum wanted out, I mentioned to John and Wayne, he likes the attention lol. Icebergs are fascinating and I read somewhere that the part underwater that we can’t see, is even bigger than the part we can see. I think the plane crash is a tourist thing to get people to go to their village, other than scenery there really isn’t anything else there. It amazes me no one was killed.

I can just see Trum pointing a paw at you and saying “the blog IS named for ME after all!” 🙂 I’ve always been fascinated by the Titanic and I think I did read or hear that about icebergs. It’s amazing to think how dangerous that could be for cruise ships on the Alaska coastline, though maybe they are big enough for cruise ships to steer around. I don’t see how 77 people could get left behind either. Someone dropped the ball bigtime there. We had a big plane crash back in 1987 near Detroit Metro Airport … all but one person was killed instantly. The debris field was over a mile and burn marks were everywhere as the plane was on fire after it clipped a car rental building, so yes, this was a smaller plane, but they’re lucky to be alive.
