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:
“This island is made mainly of coal and surrounded by fish. Only an organizing genius could produce a shortage of coal and fish at the same time.”
—Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)
