These Living History enactors welcomed us to Red Bay, Labrador. Presently Red Bay is a Fishing Village and is developing it's Tourist Industry.
"Between 1550 and the early 17th century, Red Bay was a major Basque whaling area. The site is home to three Basque Whaling galleons and four small chalupas used in the capture of whales. The discovery of these vessels makes Red Bay one of the most precious underwater archaeological sites in the Americas. Since June 2013 it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site."
