American B36 Peacemaker plane crash site - Burgoyne's Cove (Area 3)

Near the slate quarry, you can climb a winding trail built by the local air cadet squadron up to the remains of an American B36 Peacemaker plane that crashed here in 1953. The plane, which went off course, clipped the tops of some trees as it tried to go over the hill and crashed. Locals from the area tried to rescue any survivors, but all 23 airmen were lost in the crash. Among the dead was Brigadier General Richard Ellsworth. The Rapid City Air Force Base in South Dakota was renamed Ellsworth Air Force Base in his memory. All that remains is part of the fuselage and a propeller as a monument to the dead overlooking Random Sound, Trinity Bay.

Wiseman's Mill – Clarenville (Area 3)

Wiseman's Mill which is located on Balbo Drive in Shoal Harbour is the site in which four brothers, Gordon, George, Ernest and Alison Wiseman, operated a Saw Log Mill between 1918 and 1949. The mill on this site was a steam operation between 1918 and 1940 and gasoline operation between 1940 and 1949. This 1918 engine was a used one that the Wiseman's had purchased. The mill supplied lumber in 1946 for the construction of the wooden vessels known as the "Splinter Fleet" that we built at the shipyard in Clarenville. The last shipment was valued $ 90.00 for butter boxes supplied to purity factories in St. John's.
