Battle Harbour, New Foundland. Canada

Battle Harbour is a 19th century summer fishing station, formerly a permanent settlement, located on the Labrador coast in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is located on Battle Island.

Battle Harbour is now the site of the national commemoration of the historic Labrador fishery and listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district. The ocean vistas and craggy rock outcrops are a dramatic backdrop for the small wooden Church and houses that dot the landscape. Battle Harbour's hub is the wharf and the waterfront premises; rustic, wooden and shingle-clad buildings erected by English and Newfoundland-based merchants in the late 18th and 19th centuries.
