Very informative video as usual. At the old Academy in Carbonear, all students were divided into one of four "houses" or groups named after prominent Carbonear residents. The purpose was to earn points for your house during sports day etc. One house was Boyle house named after Robert William Boyle. At least he had some recognition within his home town.

The shot near the end coming up over the Stone Jug on Water St was nice, but since you kept it going I was wondering where you were taking it... and of course then I saw it. AWESOME shot, perfect way to end this video 👏👏👏👏
Very cool story too. Not a name I knew but I'm going to try to learn more now.
