Brig Bay
Brig Bay is a village in Newfoundland and Labrador.
==The name==
The name Brig Bay derived from the name "Brig" for a sailing ship.〔Reverend Francis Howley in the Newfoundland Quarterly (1907) http://www.holyroodgen.net/445/bayrobharmain/ suggests that the French referred to Brig Bay as Brique Bay (brick in English). This is a very interesting observation as there are a significant number of red bricks lying shallow under the topsoil of Grave Point (aka Brig Bay point). These bricks were generally thought to have been transported by the French and used for ovens or some other construction. But, were they transported here as ballast by the Basques as they were in Red Bay? Why would the French name the Bay Brique Bay?〕 In his ship's log, Captain James Cook〔James Cook was the first to map Newfoundland prior to making three voyages to the Pacific Ocean during which he achieved the first European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands as well as the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand.〕 referred to the area around today's Brig Bay and Plum Point, as "Old Ferrole" when he mapped the North West Coast of Newfoundland in 1764 and 1765. The island fronting the two communities, now known as Darby's Island, is still shown on some maps as "Old Ferrole Island".〔Darby's Island gets its name from Nicholas Darby, an English planter who attempted to populate and develop the coasts along the Straits of Belle Isle. See more at this link http://www.biographi.ca/009004-119.01-e.php?&id_nbr=1837&&PHPSESSID=ychzfqkvzape〕 The name "Ferrole" was most likely adopted by early Basque fishermen〔https://openlibrary.org/b/OL18142226M/Basque_coast_of_Newfoundland〕 who chose a name from their mother country for this pleasant little bay.〔Ferrol, Spain〕 The name "Brig" was adopted by the French who occupied the bay after Basque occupation and prior to English occupation. The bay provided a safe and well sheltered harbour for 2-3 ships the size of Brigs.
