| The chap who did this lives alongside Route 90 on the west side
of the road just north of St. Mary's. He is retired from the Canadian Coast
Guard. He dammed up a brook that runs alongside his house and then shaped
the banks like the shoreline of the harbour at Oderin. Then built the houses
and other buildings and recreated the community as it was, before it became
part of the relocation plan.
Oderin, a resettled fishing community, was located on Oderin Island in western Placentia Bay, about 30 km northeast of Marystown. Oderin Island is horseshoe-shaped with its mouth facing west. It has a natural harbour. The community was resettled in 1966 with the families relocating to Rushoon, Parker's Cove, Burin and St. John's. John Religa, 1997 |
