Muddy Hole, Newfoundland and Labrador

Musgrave Harbour Originally named Muddy Hole when first settled in 1834, was renamed to Musgrave Harbour in 1886 in honor of Governor Anthony Musgrave. Musgrave is known for its 7 km of fine white sandy beach that stretches along the coast line from the Fishermen's Museum to The Banting Memorial Municipal Park. Muddy Hole was a settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador. It is featured in the beginning of Farley Mowat's 1969 book The Boat Who Wouldn't Float. The exact location of this town is unknown, but the text places it somewhere along Newfoundland's easternmost end, south of Ferryland.
