These are some pictures of things in Bay Bulls. The statue of St.Peter is from the church across the street from where my parents live. He sits on top of a cannon that was salvaged from the ocean. It belonged to a ship called the HMS Sapphire. It is one of the oldest known ship wrecks in North America. The remains of the ship still sit in the bottom of the harbour. It has been there since her Captain scuttled her in the mid 17th century.
The warf is also very close to where my parents live. There weren't too many boats tied up. Most had already been taken out of the water for the season. Soon the pack ice will come, and anything left in the water will be crushed.
The picture of the whale skull was taken by O'Brien's warf. That family runs a very successful eco tourism business. Apparently my cousin Chris found the skull and thought it would be something tourists might find interesting. There are also some ribs there. From what I can gather it's a Humpback skull.
