Old Photos of Caplin Bay/Calvert, Newfoundland
The following is a collection of old photographs of Caplin Bay/Calvert gathered from various sources.
- Picnic at Stone Island - circa 1902.
An old photo of an early 20th-century picnic at Stone Island, Caplin Bay. I have estimated the date to be about 1902, based on the age of the youngest member of the picnic group - Frank O' Toole. He was born in May 1898 and appears to be about four years old at the time the photo was taken. The original of this photo came from the collection belonging to the late Mrs. Josephine Condon.
- Calvert Bay, Newfoundland - circa mid-1930s.
A view of Calvert, looking out over the bay, from the hills behind the Roman Catholic Church. This photo is from a collection belonging to Paul Burke of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. Initially, this photo was believed to have been taken by Dr. Joseph Louis Giovannetti while he was stationed at Ferryland between 1933 and 1936. However, Leonard Burke, likely a cousin, was a Government 'Releiving Offier' boarding at Calvert (Costello's) in 1935. It is believed that the main part of his photo collection, was passed down to Paul Burke's father, a nephew of Leonard. As far as I can tell both Leonard Burke and Dr. Joseph Giovannetti were born in St. Jacques, Fortune Bay, Newfoundland.
