Dear Ziners: I have just heard from a staff member that this will be
the last year for the Labrador Coastal Steamer, going from St. Anthony,
Newfoundland to Nain, Labrador, and back, stopping at many ports (often
Inuit and Innu villages) not served by roads. How sad! The ship has
been sold and, by next year, roads will go as far as Pinsent's Arm. We
took this 12-day trip last year and it was absolutely one of the most
fascinating trips we have ever had. The ship runs from mid-July till
October only, with only 12 cabins for round-trip passengers and is often
sold out well ahead of the season. But, if any of you are interested,
take the chance and call them (there is a website) and see if there are
any openings. If you would like more details, just ask us! Cheers, Pat
in Baltimore
