About this Item:
On October 7th, 1612, John Guy, founder of the English colony at Cupids, Newfoundland, set sail on board the 12-ton barque Indeavour. Along with a smaller shallop and crew, the two vessels set a course for Trinity Bay, Newfoundland in an attempt to establish friendly relations with the native Beothuk Indians. Along the way, each crew met and overcame their own challenges, including the men of the shallop losing their craft and having to return to Cupids on foot.
In Voyage, photographer and writer Dennis Flynn retraces the journey of guy and his crews in a photo essay profiling the modern-day communities along the routes, with special attention paid to John Guy's legacy, the town of Cupids, the birthplace of English Canada.
