In the 1950's the Newfoundland Government undertook a program that saw many small out ports "de- populated " to move people to places that were easier to provide services to.
In some cases the houses were "barged " to a new location, by towing with fishing boats. Kind of odd to see a house being floated along the coast line.

Newfoundland has a wealth of language dialects.
