Battle Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Battle Harbour is a small 19th-century village located on a remote island off the coast of Labrador. A vibrant hub for the cod fishing industry from the late 19th to the early 20th centuries, it later fell into economic decline and was abandoned during the decades following a devastating fire in 1930. Today, the island’s rugged landscape offers a striking backdrop to the well-preserved heritage structures that dot the restored village serving as a living museum, including narrow boardwalks, traditional saltbox houses and fishing stages.
