Blacklead Island is a Baffin Island offshore islet located in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago in Nunavut's Qikiqtaaluk Region. It lies in Cumberland Sound, northwest of Kikiktaluk Island, approximately from Harrison Point and from Niante Harbour. ==History== The island had been used by the Inuit for whaling. Later used by Europeans, it was known as the Blacklead Island Whaling Station, and was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1985.〔(National Historic Sites of Canada System Plan )〕〔(National Historic Sites of Canada System Plan map )〕 In 1894 the whaling station was purchased by Mr. C. Noble and offered to Edmund Peck as an Anglican mission. Peck made several trips to England and southern Canada over the years but always returned to the mission, until he finally left in 1902.〔(Edmund Peck (Uqammaq), 1850-1924 )〕〔(The Life and Work of E. J. Peck Among the Eskimos by the Rev. Arthur Lewis, M.A. )〕
