Summary:
A cherished Past can be considered a time capsule of Newfoundland’s history and inside you’ll read everything from Newfoundland’s vital role in both world wars to the early days of aviation, when Newfoundland would play host to such aviation pioneers as Alcock and Brown, Charles Lindbergh, and Amelia Earhart. From disasters at the seal hunt and rum running, to searching for victims of the doomed Titanic, Newfoundlanders made their fair share of history. So sit down and take a trip in time to our most glorious past.
