Spirit of Harbour Grace

On the way to…

  1. YYT → Harbour Grace →

    OpenStreetMap records an aircraft here, named Spirit of Harbour Grace and tagged as a historic attraction. The map says that much and no more: what the aircraft is, and what it commemorates, are not in the tags. Separately, the tourism board lists the town's old airfield — another site elsewhere in Harbour Grace — saying locals built that strip in 1927, that it hosted transatlantic flight attempts through the interwar period, and that Amelia Earhart left it on her successful solo flight in 1932.

    Stopping here adds about 1 min and 0.2 km to that drive (1h 24m door to door).

Drive it with your own nav:Organic Maps →OsmAnd →Apple →Google →Waze →The first two run on OpenStreetMap and don't track you — the same map this site is built from.

What the map knows

All of it read from the cited element and this site's own measured stops (2026-09-05); nothing above is our endorsement — it is the map's record.
