Port au Port, Newfoundland: A Glimpse into the Past Nestled in the westernmost part of Newfoundland, Canada, lies the quaint and picturesque community of Port au Port. This charming rural settlement, with its rich history and unique character, is captured in this stunning turn-of-the-century photograph. Dating back to approximately 1900, this image is part of the Boswell collection, housed in Box 160 of Modern New York at Mary Evans Prints Online. Port au Port, with its population of just a few hundred residents, is a place where time seems to stand still. The community, located on the rugged coast of the island, is bathed in the soft, ethereal glow of a lantern, casting long shadows and adding an air of mystery to the scene. The simple, rustic buildings, with their wooden facades and peaked roofs, are reminiscent of a bygone era. The serene harbor, dotted with fishing boats, reflects the clear, star-studded night sky. The tranquil waters, calm and still, belie the harsh and unforgiving nature of the North Atlantic, which the intrepid fishermen of Port au Port braved daily to provide for their families. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler, and the rhythms of nature ruled supreme. Port au Port, with its unspoiled beauty and resilient spirit, remains a testament to the enduring allure of rural Canada.
