The cod fishery was the back-bone of the economy of Bay de Verde since the first European settlers came here. This fishery was prosecuted in small boats within rowing distance around the Bay de Verde headland as well as the fishing grounds around Baccalieu Island. Fishermen used the traditional hand-line and to a lesser extent nets and seines. Then in the 1860's came the invention of the codtrap.  In 1880 Edward Moore introduced the first codtrap to Bay de Verde. It was set in an area called The Sands in the middle of Backside by Jeremiah Woodrow and John Broaders and became an immediate success. The codtrap was  the main fishing technology right up to the closure of the cod fishery in 1992.

A new type of boat had already been introduced at Bay de Verde since the early 1960's and as a result a new method of fishery emerged. This was the long-liner, a much larger boat of lengths which varied from 38 to 65 feet that could go farther off-shore. These boats fished various species using gill-nets and bottom trawl and catch rates sky-rocketed for many years. In the traditional fishery, fishermen had always waited for the fish to come to shore but now with the larger boats they could go to the off-shore fishing grounds where the fish congregated. As a result the traditional near-shore fishery which waited for the cod to come to shore was practically decimated.

The late 1960's saw the emergence of another fishery in this area. This was the “snow crab” fishery which since the demise of the cod has proven to be the savior of rural communities in Newfoundland. At first crab was strictly a long-liner fishery but since the “cod moratorium” the small inshore boats have also claimed their share and today “the under 35 foot fleet” is fishing for crab near-shore in the bays.

The long-liner fishery today has also expanded to include trawling for shrimp which has also become abundant in the waters around Newfoundland. The crab and shrimp fisheries are today the major fisheries in Bay de Verde as they are in most of Newfoundland.

In 1954, Maurice and Patrick Quinlan of Red Head Cove bought the business of James F. O’Neill of Bay de Verde. They called their business Quinlan Bros. of Bay de Verde. In due course, they built a relatively small ‘fish plant’ on the waterfront at Foreside. Even though fish had been caught and sold in a variety of ways since early settlement, this was the first fresh codfish processing operation in Bay de Verde. By the early 1960’s, the salt cod industry had virtually come to an end and consequently, the ‘fish plant’ became the mainstay of the fishery in Bay de Verde. In time, along with cod, many other species  were processed. After the cod moratorium of 1992 Quinlan Bros. turned their attention to the processing of snow crab and shrimp. With their base of operation in Bay de Verde, they are now one of the largest producers of these products in Newfoundland and Labrador.

In 1674 Captain John Berry in a report stated “Bay de Verds is a wild fishing cove, open to the sea, very small and dangerous”. This statement very aptly described the harbour at Bay de Verde. Also referred to as Foreside, it was not much of a safe haven for its fishermen. Strong and  devastating southerly and south-west winds often destroyed large and small vessels as well as fishing premises. In 1945, after constant requests by residents, the Newfoundland Commission of Government finally allocated $220,000 for construction of a 500 foot long breakwater to extend north-west from Emberley’s Point. The announcement was made on April 18, 1945 and construction began in mid-June with the breakwater being completed in mid-January of 1946. However, just a week later, a severe storm did immense damage, cutting a large gap in the structure and carrying away much of the heavy stone. Repairs were made in the spring but the  unrelenting seas caused more gaps to appear shortly afterwards. In 1951, the federal Government of Canada provided funding for repair and reconstruction. Later in 1958 it was raised to its present height and substantially widened. In 1965 a 120 foot long by 30 foot wide seaward cribbing as well as a concrete wing-wall was constructed at the end of the breakwater. Later in 1978 large armour stone were placed outside this cribbing. In 1989 another 100 foot extension was put onto this cribbing and filled with rock and concrete. The last cribbing was placed there in 1999, finally making the harbour significantly safer.  

Over the years, many local 'harbour committees' have been set up to modify and develop the waterfront of Bay de Verde. Except for some small projects, local committees were just not suited for the kind of harbour development needed in the new fishery now being conducted. By the early 1990's, the Small Crafts and Harbours division of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada stated categorically that no financing would be allocated to harbours that did not have a Harbour Authority. Consequently, in 1996 a public meeting was called at Bay de Verde and at long last a Harbour Authority was elected. In due course, the Authority hired an employee to do all necessary work on the waterfront. They also acquired land from the Town Council to erect a Harbour Authority Building. At last, after over four hundred years of use Bay de Verde had a viable way to plan and implement improvements to one of its most valuable asset, the waterfront. The first project was the construction of a new wharf built next to the launchway in the north-east part of the harbour to be used exclusively by the smaller boats. The final plan to make Bay de Verde Harbour more secure was a joint project of the newly formed Harbour Authority and the Small Crafts and Harbours division of DFO. In 2001 a new dock along the north side of the harbour was constructed. The following year another breakwater was constructed from the tip of Blundon’s Point extending in a southerly direction to intercept just inside the existing one. This project has allowed for the placement of floating wharves on the north side providing secure tie-up facilities for all of the smaller boats as well as giving adequate room for the manipulation of the larger boats on the south side. At the present time the old wharf, built in the late 1950’s is being removed and a new one constructed in its place. Since the inauguration of the Harbour Authority millions of dollars have been spent on improvements to the waterfront. With the expansion of the fish plant by Quinlan Brothers and the recent construction, the waterfront has taken on a whole new look. Today Bay de Verde Harbour is a far cry from the ‘wild fishing cove’ described by Captain Berry.

The Bay de Verde Harbour Authority

At a Bi-Annual General Meeting of the Bay de Verde Harbour Authority the following people were presented with plaques for years of service as former members of the Harbour Authority:

                    Patrick Broderick---9 years
                    Randy Noonan------7 years

A Collection of Wills 

The writing of wills was not a common practice among the common people of Bay de Verde and surrounding communities. Very often property was willed by word of mouth or a simply worded document which described how the property of the deceased was to be divided and how the surviving spouse was to be taken care of.  They were usually read the day after the funeral with all family members present.  Those who were more likely to write wills were of the well-to-do class and they were usually probated. The earliest written will is that of William Bowers who was an early settler at Bay de Verde.

Will of Henry Barns of Dorset and Bay de Verde 

Note: This will, written in 1750,  is one of the earliest known wills relating to a property owner of Bay de Verde. Henry Barns was one of the earliest English West Country Entrepreneurs to come to Bay de Verde after the Taverners left in the early 1700’s, although perhaps not early enough to claim property in the harbour. It would appear that all of the best waterfront property in the harbour had been claimed by the time he came so he moved in around the point and set up a plantation at Carnail. When you consider the area it was probably just as good as the harbour, for al though a rough area, at least he had lots of space for drying fish, something that was not readily  available in the harbour. He left his plantation to his son who later sold it to Thomas Stone. 

In the name of God Amen I Henry Barns of the Hamlet of Parkson in the Parish of Great Canford in the County of Dorsett, Yeoman being under an indisposition of Body but of sound mind and memory, and calling to mind the uncertainty of Life do therefore make this my last Will and Testament in manner following that is to say:

First and principally I commend my Soul into the hands of Almighty God hoping for pardon of all my sins thro the Merits of Christ's Death, and my Body I commit to the Earth to be Buried in a Christian like and decent manner at the discretion of my Executrix ‑ and as for such Temporal Estate wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me and bestow on me, I give and devise and bequeath the same in manner following. That is to say.

First I will that all my just debts and funeral expenses be paid and discharged. Also I give devise and bequeath unto my dearly beloved wife, Anne Barns all my Lands, Tenements, Goods and Chattels of what kind soever and wheresoever to have and to hold the same and every part thereof unto my said wife for and during the Term of her natural life.

And after her death I give and dispose thereof in manner following that is to say. I give and devise unto my son Thomas Barns his heirs and Assigns forever all that my half acre of Land lying in Cudnel Mead in the County of Dorset, also [ I give and devise unto my said son Thomas Barns my Plantation lying at or near Bay de Verde in the Newfoundland called Carnail to have and to hold the same]. Also I give unto my son Thomas Barns the leasehold Estate or Copyhold which I now enjoy at Parkson to hold and enjoy the same during the remainder of the Term I have therein, and whereas I have sold my Plantation in Newfoundland for the sum of forty pounds, which I intended for my said son Thomas, I do therefor give unto my said son Thomas the sum of forty pounds to be paid him within one month after my death, also I give unto my son Thomas my four Horses (or such four Horses as my said wife shall leave at her death) also my waggon Cart, Dung Pott, Harness and all Ploug Tackling.

Also I give and bequeath unto my son William Barns my Freehold Estate lying at Cudnell Howe in the County of Dorset, and to the Heirs of his Body lawfully to be begotten, forever and in default of such I give and devise the same unto my said son Thomas Barns his Heirs and Assigns forever. Also I give unto my said son William Barns my two leasehold Estate lying at Cudnell Howe aforesaid to hold and enjoy the same during the remainder of the Terms I have therein.

And whereas I have already given my daughters Jane the wife of Hendry Brown, and Anne the wife of Thomas Dunford their fortunes I only give to each of them one shilling.

And I do hereby charge all my estates with payments of the above Sum of Forty pounds given unto my said son Thomas. And all the rest and residue of my Personal Estate that shall remain after my said ___? death I give and bequeath the same unto my said sons Thomas and William to be equally divided between them share and share alike. 

And it is my further will and meaning that if I shall pay my said son Thomas the Forty Pounds in my life time the paid legacy of forty pounds shall be void.

And I do make my said wife sole Executrix of this my will hereby revoking all former wills by me made declaring this only to be my last will and Testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal the sixteenth day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and fifty.

Will of Henry Shepperd of Bay de Verde

Will of John Lockyer Senior of Bay de Verde

from Newfoundland will books volume 10 pages 381-382 probate year 1916

In re:      JOHN LOCKYER       deceased.     

Note: John was born 1809, a son of John Lockyer and Catherine Paul and grandson of William Lockyer an early settler who owned property at Bay de Verde in 1774. John built up quite an extensive fishing enterprise at Bay de Verde. The somewhat unusual thing about this will is that it was not probated after his death in 1881 and by the time a probate was sought by his son John  in 1916, both of the executors had died.

      In the year one thousand eight hundred & seventy eight The last will and testament of John Lockyer Sr Planter, Bay de Verde, Newfoundland, written in manner and form following.    In the name of God Amen.

Will of Michael Kelley of Daniel’s Cove

Note: This is the will of Michael Kelley, a brother of Judith Kelley who married Michael Kelly (1817), a son of James Kelly of Grates Cove. Michael of James had married Judith Kelley and settled at Daniel's Cove.  In his will Michael Kelley leaves some property to his nephews John Kelly and Patrick Kelly and his niece Bridget (Kelly) Tilley. Bridget is a daughter of John Tilley and Mary Kelly, a sister of Michael Kelly. It seems that the Michael of 1817, son of James Kelly, who married Judith had died and the plantation at Daniel's Cove went to Michael Kelley, brother of Judith. This Michael Kelley is the one who married Catherine Blundon but had no children. 

In the name of God, amen. I Michael Kelley, of Daniel's Cove in the island of Newfoundland, fisherman, being sick & weak in body but in perfect mind and memory do hereby make & declare this to be my last will and testament. First I give & commend my soul to Almighty God who gave it, and my body I commend to the earth to recieve at the hand of my executor a decent Christian burial--and as -------- such worldly estate wherewith God has blessed me with in this life, I give and bequeath the same in the following manner and form.

First and in consideration of the love and good will I have and do bear toward my beloved wife Catherine Kelly, I give unto her all my lands and dwelling houses, stores and cattle, moveable effects and that portion of the fishing room that belongs to me and to be hers during the term of her widowhood, but she is in no way to prevent or hinder my two nephews John Kelly or Patrick Kelly to do anything that may lend to an improvement in my said property or plantation, and at her decease or in the event of her entering again into a married state, said property shall become the property of my two nephews, the said John Kelly and Patrick Kelly and to be theirs and their heirs forever.

Secondly, for and in consideration of the love I do bear toward my beloved niece Bridget Tilley, I give and bequeath unto her at her marriage day one cow if such be found suitable among my livestock at the time, otherwise to wait until my executor shall have a young cow raised for her, and also a feather bed to be given her on the day of her marriage---and if it be consistent to the wish of my beloved wife, should she eventually marry, she and her husband can occupy a portion of my said plantation wheresoever pointed out by my beloved wife---but should she and her husband go elsewhere to live then they forfeit any further privledge or claim in my said plantation, neither shall she the said Bridget Tilley or her husband if she ever marry bring any other person or persons on this my said plantation contrary to the wishes of my said beloved wife or nephews and at the decease of my beloved wife the said Bridget Tilley shall become the possessor of my clock.

Thirdly, for and in consideration of the love I have and do bear toward my beloved niece Bridget Kelly, I give and bequeath to her on her marriage day a feather bed and also one cow on the conditions of the one bequeathed to the aforsaid Bridget Tilley or by the best means my executors may determine on.

Fourthly, in reference to my nets I depose of them as follows, that is I give and bequeath one half the same unto my beloved nephews the said John Kelly and Patrick Kelly and the other half unto my beloved wife and my two beloved neices the said Bridget Tilley and Bridget Kelly but on the marriage of either of them, her or their portion of said nets shall become the property of my wife the said Catherine Kelly.

Fifthly, I also constitute and declare my two nephews John Kelly and Patrick Kelly the executors of this my last will and testament.

Wherunto I have hereunto set my hand and affix my seal this twenty second day of June one thousand eight hundred and seventy five.  

Michael(X his mark) Kelley

                    Cemeteries of Bay de Verde

                                                               By

                                             Gerald Riggs

During the early years of settlement, before the coming of the established Churches there was no consecrated ground in the community for burial purposes. When people died, as surely they did, they were buried in some section of the community that was not in every day use. These graveyards are located in many different places, some known and some unknown. The graves were marked with wooden crosses, wooden headboards or pieces of slate or feldstone. Over time the crosses and headboards rotted and fell into the ground and the grave and often the graveyard was lost forever. If the slate or feldstone was substantial enough it lasted longer but they also have a tendency to go into the ground.  Nevertheless, numerous slate markers can still be seen protruding through grass in the older cemeteries.

Even though people lived and died in Bay de Verde since the early 1600’s, the earliest headstone is that of Eleanor Mangan in 1832. It is located in the RC Front Road cemetery. People lived here for two hundred years before an inscribed headstone was erected in either cemetery.

Over the years, there have been several attempts to record the cemeteries of Bay de Verde. Florence Blundon Cowan did many transcriptions of the Anglican cemeteries in the late 1980’s. Her work can be seen in detail at the Bay de Verde Heritage House. A student project in the summer of 1992, under the direction of Brian Walsh, provided a lot of information on the RC Front Road cemetery. During a student project under the direction of Gerald Riggs in the summer of 1993, Deena Riggs and Stephanie Broaders transcribed and made detailed drawings of all the headstones in the Anglican cemetery on Blundon’s Point, the Anglican cemetery on Church Hill, the cemetery on Emberley’s Point and the RC cemetery on Walsh’s Hill. Stephanie did the recording while Deena did the detailed drawings. This work can be seen at the Bay de Verde Heritage House. Brendan Doyle transcribed all the headstones in both Roman Catholic cemeteries on the hill.

The names listed here, in all the cemeteries, are only those inscribed on headstones and a few crosses and headboards. There are many other graves marked with just slate markers or wooden crosses and headboards with no inscriptions. Roman Catholic cemeteries used crosses. Anglican cemeteries used headboards.

Emberley’s Point

This cemetery is located on Blundon’s Point in Bay de Verde. This was a family cemetery. There are just two headstones in this cemetery. Both have exactly the same inscriptions. There are many other graves marked with slate markers and wooden crosses that have fallen into the ground.

John Emberley (1808 – 1868)

Jacobs’ Cemetery

This cemetery is located to the north of Alfred Jacobs’ house. Slate grave markers were visible above ground within living memory, however they have now all disappeared into the ground. If there were any headstones they too have gone into the ground. It was a family graveyard and was attended by members of the Jacobs family until recent times.

Roman Catholic Cemetery

Walsh’s Hill

This cemetery is located on Walsh’s Hill just to the west of the house of Raymond and Mary Riggs. In the summer of 1993 there was just one rather large headstone left standing. The only marking discernable at that time was the numeral 75. Local folklore has it that the people who died on the immigrant ship Fanny while it was in Bay de Verde in 1811, are buried here. 

Old Roman Catholic Cemetery
