In 1705 the French inflicted damage to the extend of £38,000. In 1762 again the town was captured by the French. In 1778 the population (part resident, part transient) was 5,768. Amongst the many facts for which the place is famous is that it was here, in 1765, that Wesleyanism was introduced into Newfoundland, and indeed in the New World, by the Rev. Lawrence Coughlan, an Irishman. Mr. Coughlan, an Anglican clergyman, was a follower of John Wesley. Rev. Lewis Amadeus Anspach, one of our earliest historians, lived here after 1802. Written here in 16__, by Robert Hayman, was “Quodlibets,” one of the earliest books in English written in the New World. The port was long a very important mercantile headquarters, and fishing and sealing centre with a fleet of seal hunting vessels that reached considerable proportions. Here as born the famous medical scientist and pioneer Sir Thomas Roddick.

The ton is now chiefly a centre from which men go north to Labrador as stationer fishermen, and in which farming is carried on.

It is an interesting fact that so many of the places immediately south of Cape John, commencing with the first one (Shoe Cove), are so much older as English settlements, Shoe Cove for instance dating probably from the early 18^th century, whilst Indian Burying Place is even older. 175 m. from St. John’s.

            LITTLE BAY.  Pop. 92. Situated on the north side of Green B., this settlement in the second half of the 19^th century as one of the important group of settlements in Green B., here copper mining was carried on S Tilt Cove, Bett’s Cove, Pilley’s Island, etc. Mining commenced in 1878 and the ore produced here and at the other settlements placed Newfoundland for some years in sixth position in the world as a copper producer. After 15 or 20 years of operations Little B. had closed down due to a drastic fall in copper prices. In 1904 300 inhabitants were rendered homeless by a forest fire which practically obliterated the settlement. Active explorations and diamond-drilling for copper were carried on here and throughout Green B. in 1939, and there seems to be a good chance of a very important mining settlement in the near future. 137 m. from Lewisporte.

            PLACENTIA.  Pop. 685. An ancient and very beautiful and historic settlement on the east side of Placentia B. First settled by the French in 1662 as their capital and chief port in Newfoundland, though few occasional English settles lived there before that, principally Isaac Dethick. The French proceeded promptly to fortify it, and held the place continuously for the next 51 years, until the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht, 1713, when they relinquished it and removed to Cape Breton. Placentia was the “Gibraltar of North America,” and successfully resisted various English attacks upon it by sea, though in common with many other Newfoundland settlements it was several times sacked by pirates. From D’Iberville made his famous attack upon Newfoundland, 1696-97. Placentia was the only French settlement in Newfoundland S they frequented and largely monopolized all the fishing ports on a great stretch of the coast (prior to 1713) all the way from Cape Bonavista northward to the Straits of Belle Isle, thence southward and eastward to Trepassey; but founded no settlement, and under the 1713 Treaty were not permitted to settle. Even Placentia they failed to colonize successfully. They invited English-speaking fishermen to join them there, but the near-sighted policy of the monopolistic promoters (in France) of the Placentia settlement defeated whatever chance there might otherwise have been of making the colony a success. It has been British continuously since 1713. For a while after 1713, until 1729, Placentia was under the government of Nova Scotia. Here in the 1780s H.R.H. the Duke of Clarence, afterwards King William IV, was stationed as a naval officer and surrogate. In 1787 he ordered the building of an Anglican Church, contributing generously to the cost of its erection and donating a handsome, massive communion service, which is now in the Anglican Cathedral, St. John’s. Birthplace of His Grace Archbishop Roche.

            PORT DE GRAVE.  Pop. 243. The well-known peninsula in Conception B., and the settlement of the same name on it. The settlements of Port de Grave and Ship Cove, nearby, are amongst the very oldest in Newfoundland. The Dawe family of Ship Cove (members of which are now located in various parts of Conception Bay, St. John’s and elsewhere in the country) trace their history in Ship Cove back to 1595, only 98 years after John Cabot’s discovery of the country, and 15 years before John Guy founded his colony at Cupids, farther in the Bay. It is quite probable that people (including the Dawes) were settled at Ship Cove and Port de Grave even before 1595. There is a tradition that some of the Dawes were out on the fishing grounds on the day that John Guy’s colonists arrived in Conception Bay from Bristol, and in response to a request for information about the coast and the best place to land, advised them to go in toward the bottom of Bay de Grave S which they advised out of fear that these wealthy new-comers might dispossess them of their own settlement. The entire peninsula of Port de Grave is one of the most picturesque and interesting sections of the Country. Hibbs’ Cove and Blow-Me-Down are amongst the quaintest of all Newfoundland’s fishing settlements. There are nearly a dozen old private graveyards scattered through the settlements.

            PORTUGAL COVE.  Pop. 816. An ancient fishing settlement on the south side of Conception B. Discovered in 1501 by the great Portuguese navigator Gaspar de Corte Real, and named by him in honour of his country. In 1696, when the French under D’Iberville invaded Newfoundland, there were 3 dwellings. The first highway in Newfoundland was built in 1825 from St. John’s to here, Portugal Cove becoming then increasingly the connecting link between the capital and most Conception B. settlements, the mail packet making Portugal Cove its terminus. Stationed here as Anglican clergyman in the 1840s was the Hon. And Rev. William Grey, father of the 9^th Earl of Stamford, who was born in St. John’s. Here also lived Tryphena (Fanny) Goff, daughter of a romantic couple whose story is one of the leading romances of Newfoundland. The Churchill family here is descended from the first Duke of Marlborough’s relatives. Portugal Cove is the mainland terminus for the Bell Island ferry steamer.
