New Harbour, Fortune Bay

New Harbour is an abandoned town located within Fortune Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada that had a peak population of 24 in 1945.

Located near the resettled community of Femme in Fortune Bay, Trammer was first settled in the early to mid 19 century and was first recorded in the Newfoundland census of 1857 where one settler had been born in England.

[1][3] At that time, residents of the small community would only receive their mail every two weeks from the main Fortune Bay economic hub of Harbour Breton.

[3] People of the community relied heavily on the herring fishery which was a prosperous venture in the mid to late 19th century in this area.

[1] By the turn of the 20th century, the population had dramatically decreased to just six people.
