VIDEO: GGC – 30 – Cape Spear: First Sunrise in North America and WWII Gun Battery


Part 26 of our road trip across Northern Quebec and Eastern Canada. After spending the night at the St. John’s Walmart, we drove to Cape Spear, the most Easterly point in North America, to enjoy the sun rise. While there, we also checked out the historic lighthouses and World War II gun battery.

  1. Your voice over and the scenery is simply amazing!! I am currently taking a us history class for school and I have learned so much about Canada from you and Paula. Have you ever considered teaching history? I think you would be an amazing tracher.

  2. Oh My, that rings A bell. Not that Sweden (where I come from) was that involved in WW2, but that costal, armored defense. The entire eastern coast of Sweden just to be littered with fortifications like these, to defend against the Russians who live like 1.5 hours flight away from us. It´s all gone, time and technology has made them redudant

  3. As always. Great video guys! It's weird to see these videos knowing that you've been home for a little while now. Man there is so much more for you to upload.! Can't wait!!!!

  4. Can you imagine the harbor at St. Johns as a marshalling point for convoys across the Atlantic and north to Murmansk,,and Archangel, all gone now and U-boat and their packs as well. Thank you for the peaceful harbor view and wonderful trip.

  5. I only came across your channel about a week ago and I have to say what a fantastic trip so far. While you were in St John did you happen to go to the Moosehead Brewery. That's my favorite beer. In fact I just finished one before I posted this. Thanks again I am thoroughly enjoying this series. This trip is making me want to get my passport so I can visit your beautiful country. I'm your southern neighbor.

  6. I find it odd how you'll go and be sure to pick up a bottle of ginger ale, but episodes back you just left half an exploded tire on the side of the road. What's your reasoning behind this???
