Cape Freels
Cape Freels is a headland on the island of Newfoundland and the location of a community of the same name. This cape, located at the northern extremity of Bonavista Bay, is not to be confused with Cape Freels, located at the southern extremity of the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland.
The cape was named Ilha de Freyluis as early as 1506.[1] The Portuguese translation is a derivation of the island of Brother Lewis. The area around the cape is the location of a Beothuk camping site. Radiocarbon dating of the artifacts place them between AD 200-700.[1]
For navigational safety a gas lamp was erected at Gull Island, Cape Freels in 1924.
