The Hook and Line Interpretation Centre hosts a cafe and craft area. Enjoy traditional Newfoundland meals in our onboard ship's atmosphere without leaving dry land. Monday to Sunday 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Visitors can see local fishermen baiting their trawl, offering a unique opportunity to witness first-hand how fishermen prepare for the fishery. Enjoy our live entertainment maybe even have a Newfie step. Historical artifacts, display panel and story-boards make the Centre an interpretive educational and unique attraction.
