Fishot Island
Fischot Island was a former Island community just outside the town of St. Anthony and Goose Cove. It had a population of 48 in 1935. The people who once lived there on the round island, all resettled to new towns in search of work and better opportunities for raising their families. There were 4 main families that lived on the island. They were Alyward, Bromley, Davis, and Sexton. Most of these families originally came from England and Ireland. The island has been vacant for over 40 years now.
The' entrance way to the island was very narrow with shallow water due to the many various islands in the surrounding area, making it possible for only small boats to enter and lay anchor.
==History==
The island was used mainly by the French to come and dock during the fishing seasons. During King George's War, the village was attacked in the Newfoundland Campaign (1744). The French people have been fishing there for centuries. In the early 19th century a man by the name of Henry Bromley came to the island. He watched over the property while the French returned to France in the wintertime. He soon married and started a family. Then in the 1850s the island's population then started to grow, and with the increase in population the residents built churches and schools. Before long Newfoundlanders and the French were fishing and living all together on the island.
The permanent settlers to the island survived on an economy of fishing, mainly salmon, cod, capelin and herring. Winter activities included hunting and woodcutting on the shores of Hare Bay, especially as there was no timber on the island itself. Agriculture was limited to root crops and the small number of livestock raised. Even though the people of Fischot Island were very connected to the people in the surrounding communities, once Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949, they started to suffer from isolation, transportation difficulties, and a lack of essential services. The population of the island kept increasing but this only accentuated the need for improved living conditions in the community. Between 1970 and 1972, resettlement, under the first Federal-Provincial resettlement agreement for the relocation of fishermen, took place from Fischot Island.
