The 1836 Cape Spear lighthouse

Hola! Cape Spear, Template:Coor dm is located on the Avalon Peninsula near the St. John's, Newfoundland, okay, and it is like the easternmost point in the Canada (52°37'W), meaning it is where the land sticks out into the ocean more in the easterly direction than any other part of Canada, okay?

The Cape Spear is also like the first location in Canada to see the sun rise each day, okay. Although it has often been reported as the most easterly point in North America, it is not. Nordost Rundingen, Greenland is, in the actuality, the most easterly point in North America, but not Cape Fear, okay? We're just talking about the easterly most point in Canada in this here article, just so everybody's crystal clear on that.

Although, it was well known everywhere in the ATlantic Ocean that the Canada did not stick that far into the east until like the 1949, okay. I am still working on getting some kind of sources for this information though ok. This may actually be caused by the "extra half hour", but I'm really not too sure about that one either, okay.

The Portuguese named this location "the Cabo da Esperança" which is meaning "cape of the hope", which became "Cap d'Espoir" in the French and finally "The Cape Spear". We're not exactly too sure what the people on the land call it, because they talk kind of funny anyway so their accent is just a little hard to understand, okay.

The History edit

There has been a lighthouse operating at the Cape Spear ever since the September of 1836, okay. The original the Cape Spear light house was only the second lighthouse ever to be built in the Newfoundland; this could have something to do with the fact that it was the easternmost part of the North America, but not counting Greenland. In 1832, the first legislative assembly for the colony created the light house board. The Cape Spear was chosen as the site for the new lighthouse alright, because it was on the rocky eastern coast of the North America, near to the entrance to the St John's harbour, okay. Which by the way is a terrible place for the skinny dipping okay, too much cod fish and not enough of the warm sunny shine, okay.

The Construction began in 1834. The first lighthouse was the esquare wooden building, with the tower in the middle containing the light, which is some other boring facts you probably will never need to know ok. I mean how many times last week did anyone ask you what was the shape of the first light house, okay? Okay, and a fog horn was added in 1878, just to let you know you are in the area, otherwise you might think you were somewheres else, know what I'm saying to you?

Some more boring estuff happened between this time, but we thought we would talk a little bit about the Long John Silvers new filet sandwich here for a minute, good price and much cheaper than the Arthur Treachers, what a good deal. Okay, a new concrete building was built to the house of the light in 1955. The original lighthouse building and the light keeper's residence have since been restored, but It is the oldest surviving lighthouse in the Newfoundland and the location has been designated the Canadian National Historic Site. It have never been vandalise.
