TERRENCEVILLE 359
The salmon run on the Terra Nova River was never as large as it might have been, especially after artifi¬ cial barriers such as dams combined with natural ob¬ structions. The major obstruction to fish was the MoUyguajeck Falls, below MoUyguajeck Lake and about 56 km from the River mouth. The first fish ladder was built on smaller falls on the River in 1904, and other fish ways were built in 1952 and 1954 and improved in 1961. It was not until 1985 that a run- around was built to by-pass MoUyguajeck Falls, al¬ lowing salmon runs to the upper part of the River. Terra Nova River has been a favourite area for sport fishermen as well as hunters and has more recently gained in popularity among recreational canoeists. E.L. Tulk (1964), A Proposed Atlantic Salmon En¬ hancement Project {19SS). ACB
TERRA NOVA, S.S. Designed for the Greenland whale fishery and buUt in Dundee in 1884, the Terra Nova was the largest and perhaps the most famous of the "wooden wall" sealing steamers. The 744-ton vessel was three-masted and barque-rigged, measuring 187 feet long and 31 feet wide. It first went to the seal hunt in 1885, outfitted by the builders, Alexander Stephen and Sons. In 1898 it was bought by Bowring Brothers and, commanded by Arthur Jackman qv, sailed for the first time under Newfoundland registry. From 1885 to 1903 the Terra Nova went to the ice under several other notable sealing captains: including Abram Kean and Charles Dawe qqv.
In 1903 the British admiralty bought the Terra Nova and sent it in search of the Discovery, which was icebound in the Antarctic with the first Scott polar expedifion. In 1910 it was acquired (for £12,500) by the Scott South Pole Expedition for the second, and ill-fated, expedition (see POLAR EXPLORATION). A^fter the return of the Expedition, the steamer was repurchased by its former owners. It went to the ice again in 1914, and continued as a sealer through the war years. In its long career the Terra Nova brought in over 800,000 pelts. In 1918 it was chartered by E>OSCO to bring coal from North Sydney to Bell Is¬ land. Along with other ships, in February 1918 the Terra Nova went to the scene ofthe Florizel qv disas¬ ter. Chartered to Newfoundland Base Contractors to carry supplies to stations in Greenland in 1942, it was damaged by ice and on September 13, 1943 sank near the Southwestern tip of Greenland. Captain Llewellyn Lush and his crew were rescued by the U.S. Coast¬ guard cutter Atka. The figurehead, removed in 1913, ^ests in the National Museum of Wales.
There were several other vessels named Terra Nova. One, a 190-ton vessel built in 1863 in Harbour Grace, ^as owned by John Munn and lost at Indian Tickle, Labrador on September 8, 1867. Another, a 165-ton ^^iganfine owned by P. Rogerson & Sons was lost near ^ripple Cove in January of 1882 while en route from Harbour Grace to Valencia with a load of salt cod. A "ird, a 240-ton vessel, was owned by Earle Freighfing Services of Carbonear, and was lost in 1964. Another sealing vessel, also owned by the Carbonear firm.
