Description

The history of St. John's, like the history of Newfoundland itself, is centred on the sea. The city's initial function was to serve as a seasonal mercantile centre to support the fishing fleets which came to exploit the abundant fish stocks of the island's shores Its secondary function was as a military garrison town.
