Worth stopping for
Silent Witnesses Memorial
On the way to…
A memorial on Route 1 outside Gander, near the start of this drive. The province's own tourism listing calls it a tranquil park, unveiled in 1990, dedicated to the lives lost in the Arrow Air crash of December 12, 1985. It describes an American soldier standing atop a massive rock holding the hands of a civilian boy and girl, each child holding an olive branch for the peacekeeping mission of the Screaming Eagles in the Sinai, who were going home for Christmas; the trio look to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, where a similar statue looks back. That listing also carries a season for the site — those dates are the province's to state, not this page's.
Stopping here adds about 8 min and 2.4 km to that drive (1h 57m door to door).
