Bull Arm is a natural arm of approximately 10 miles in length and average of 1 mile wide located at the Isthmus of Avalon on the Avalon Peninsula in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The inner reaches of the arm is located at Sunnyside, and from there it is a mere 2.72 miles to Placentia Bay at Come by Chance.
Located at Bull Arm is the Bull Arm Fabrication Site, where the construction of the Hibernia gravity base structure took place at Bull Arm. The area was chosen due to its natural deep channel to Trinity Bay and its calm waters in the arm. Coordinates: 47°50′13″N 53°52′44″W / 47.83694°N 53.87889°W / 47.83694; -53.87889
Famous quotes containing the words bull and/or arm:
“To me heaven would be a big bull ring with me holding two barrera seats and a trout stream outside that no one else was allowed to fish in and two lovely houses in the town; one where I would have my wife and children and be monogamous and love them truly and well and the other where I would have my nine beautiful mistresses on nine different floors.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Summoning a child’s voice from a webfoot stone,
Never never oh never to regret the bugle I wore
On my cleaving arm as I blasted in a wave.
Now shown and mostly bare I would lie down,
Lie down, like down and live
As quiet as a bone.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
