Corner Brook is dominated by the Corner Brook Pulp and Paper Mill and is a major town on the west coast of Newfoundland. It is renowned for its world-famous salmon river, the Humber. Above Corner Brook there is a plaque honoring Captain James Cook who before he became a famous south sea explorer he refined his surveying and cartographic skills along the coast of Newfoundland in the 1760’s His charts of the Bay of Islands are still accurate to be used today. We have been to this town on one of our cruises.
