This view was taken in early spring of 1953, showing the water fall behind the kitchen and mess tents. This stream flowed just to the left of the kitchen tent, went under the railroad track and emptied into the Shoal Harbour river. Water for drinking and kitchen use came from this stream.Our two generators for power are standing on the right in front of the messtent. On Saturday evenings they had movies in the mess tent.

View of Camp-I. You can also see the pole yard to the left of the camp.  The fellows at Camp-II at Port Blanford had to travel by speeder to this yard at Shoal Harbour to pick up poles for their jobs at Port Blanford. The Shoal Harbour gravel pit is at Mile Post 135.75.
Port Blanford was at M.P.150.87.

There was a mile post marker fastened to one of the telephone poles with the number 137 printed on it. This put the crews at just about two miles north of Camp-I at the Shoal Harbour gravel pit. Running along beside the railroad and the pole line at this point is the Shoal Harbour river. New poles have been set and the crews are busy transferring the cable to the new "black jacks."

Jerome captured these two photos of another early morning move to Terra Nova from Camp-I at the Shoal Harbour gravel pit. Again the two speeders are double headed for the heavy pull.
