Bay of Exploits : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bay of Exploits
The Bay of Exploits is a large bay in the northeast of Newfoundland. It extends from the mouth of the Exploits River and opens on to Notre Dame Bay to the north. It is approximately 1,000 square kilometers (386 sq. miles) in size and contains over 30 islands of which New World Island is the largest. ==Description== The bay probably got its name from early successful encounters with the Beothuk Indians.〔Anspach (1819), p. 317.〕 The main towns are Lewisporte, Twillingate (on the Twillingate Islands in the bay) and Botwood. Salmon fishing and the fur trade were the main early industries.〔Marshall (1996), p. 160.〕
