Tilt Cove

Tilt Cove is located on the eastern side of the Baie Verte Peninsula in northern Newfoundland. Tilt Cove was first settled in 1813 by George Winsor, who came over from England. He and his wife had thirteen children. By 1900 there were more than 1,300 people living in the town of Tilt Cove because George’s son who initially found rich deposits of copper and gold ore in 1864. It was shortly after this, that the mine was established. In the 1920's the mines closed and the population dropped. The mines re-opened in 1957 and the population boomed. The mine only lasted until 1967 when the mines closed for good. Now over the years there are just seven people living there full time. 

Having visited Tilt Cove I can speak to the eerie feeling you get when you walk amongst the remains of the mine and the wharf. You get the feeling of something big happened here. It has been mentioned to me that Tilt Cove was meant to be just as big or bigger then St. John’s, NL, before the mine closed. Such a statement causes you to stop and think, what if? It is near to impossible to imagine such a thought when you are standing within the bowl that Tilt Cove finds itself shaped from.
