Venison Island is an island off of the coast of Labrador.
The island is separated from Stony Island by a narrow channel called Venison Tickle and measures 1200 m by 550 m. The island once had a busy wharf and fishing community, a wireless telegraph station (code VI) and a population of 36 year-round residents in 1901.
Famous quotes containing the word island:
“The island dreams under the dawn
And great boughs drop tranquillity;
The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
A parrot sways upon a tree,
Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
