Nameless Cove

Nameless Cove is situated on the northwestern side of the Great Northern Peninsula. It is a small community just off the main highway between Flower's Cove and Savage Cove. Nameless Cove is situated on a point of land in the Strait of Belle Isle that is close to mainland Labrador (9 miles). The area was mapped by James Cook in 1764. During the early 19th century English fishermen began to settle in the area. By 1857 there were eleven families in Flower's Cove and Nameless Cove while most communities in the Strait of Belle Isle had only one family. Dempsters, Walshs, Diamonds and Speners? were the surnames familiar to Nameless Cove in the late 1800’s. These families continue to live in Nameless Cove to the present day.

Nameless Cove today has a population of about 90 people. Most of the people there shop at Flowers Cove and the children attend school at the elementary and high school in Flower's Cove.
