We had a wonderful week long stay at Black Point Cottage. Helen and the owners were very accommodating to our needs leading up to the stay and during as well. The location is amazing, and we loved having a spotting scope and binoculars to watch wildlife. The house is a good size and could have easily accommodated more than our family of four, beds are comfortable and the living room comes with a nicely tuned piano, which we loved playing.

Salvages Lighthouse

The Salvages Lighthouse or Halfmoons Lighthouse is visible on a clear day from the Blanche Beach

Description

The Salvages are a line of rocks, nearly 3 kilometers long situated on the southern side of the approach to Negro Harbour.  Locally, the rocks are know as The Halfmoons, due to the crescent-shaped arrangement of some of the rocks. 

As the southeast side of the rocks are steep, approaching them at night or during thick weather is a dangerous undertaking.  In 1915 a fog alarm was built upon a rock near the southern end of The Salvages that rose approximately 3 meters out of the sea. 

Because of its exposed location, the fog alarm building was built of concrete with walls 41 centimeters thick to withstand the pounding of the North Atlantic. 

Thank you to the Lighthouse Friends web site for this information.  Please visit their web site for more information about the light keepers.
