Happy Adventure

Happy Adventure is an outport village on the Eastport Peninsula in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Some speculate it is a reflection of the joyful experience of the first settlers in finding such a welcoming environs.

Alternatively, it has been postulated that the community was named to commemorate a ship belonging to 17th-century pirate Peter Easton.

Still others suggest the community was named by George Holbrook, a British Admiralty hydrographer.

Holbrook surveyed Newman Sound in 1817 and sheltered in one of Happy Adventure's coves during a storm.
