| CAMP- I MOVE TO TERRA NOVA |
| In late August we are preparing to move Camp-I from the Shoal Harbour gravel pit to Terra Nova. Terra Nova was about 30 miles on north of Shoal Harbour. At Terra Nova the camp would become Camp-III as Camp-II was still in operation at Port Blanford. This move took more than one day and I don't remember the number. There were no roads out of the gravel pit and Terra Nova had no roads into it so everything was loaded and moved by our two speeders and trailers. I do remember that the crew I was on was left behind for a short time to clean up the Camp-I site. The following photos will show some of the loads required to move camp. All photos were taken by Jerome Young. |
| In this view the trailers are loaded and ready to head north with a load for new Camp-III. A good view of the rail spur that was installed by the section crew from Clarenville. The gravel pit is in the background. |
| It is early morning with a light mist hanging behind Camp-I. The speeder trailers are loaded with packed up huts and camp stoves stacked on top. The load is heavy so both speeders are double headed for the pull north. T/Sgt Wilkerson, Rideout, and Ben Craft are gathered at the speeder. Braswell is walking towards the camera and the other airmen are looking for places to sit on top of the loaded trailers. |
| Another early morning load ready to head north for Terra Nova. A big load of duffel bags are on that last trailer. That is William Brennan standing next to the speeder. Harold Peffer is standing behind him. |
| Jerome was standing on a railroad flat car when he took this shot. The trailers are again loaded with boxes that hold the folded up huts. To the right of the speeder we can see that only one generator is in place so the other is at new Camp-III for electrical power. T/Sgt Wilkerson is standing on the second speeder. |
| Nearly ready to leave for Camp-III. To the extreme left is Ben Craft with his back to the camera. To the right is Norm Simons with a shovel on his shoulder. These two along with Jerome, Emmitt Martin, Eddie George and Scharnweber would stay to clean up the camp site. |
| In this view the camp is being dismantled. The shower tent stood in the open space on the right across the tracks. |
