Worth stopping for
SS Kyle
On the way to…
Launched in 1913, the SS Kyle was the fastest ship in the Reid Newfoundland Company's Alphabet Fleet, and the tourism board's own listing calls her the first regularly scheduled ferry between Newfoundland and coastal Labrador. She ran aground at Riverhead, Harbour Grace, in February 1967 and has stayed there ever since. The map records her hull as showing and visible at both high and low tide, so the tide you arrive on does not decide whether there is anything to see.
Stopping here adds about 4 min and 1.2 km to that drive (1h 24m door to door).
A ship's hull sits aground in the harbour at Harbour Grace, mapped as a wreck and named on the map as the SS Kyle. OpenStreetMap dates the wreck to February 1967 and records the hull as showing above the water at both high and low tide, so there is something to see whatever the tide is doing. It is a landmark in a working harbour, not a site with a door and an admission desk.
Stopping here adds about 6 min and 2.7 km to that drive (1h 49m door to door).
