“MV Joseph and Clara Smallwood was christened in honour of Joseph R.
Smallwood (a former premier of Newfoundland and a Father of
Confederation) and his wife Clara. MV Joseph and Clara Smallwood was
commissioned in 1990, four years after the Caribou, from the same
builder, MIL Davie of Lauzon, Quebec. In addition to the Port aux
Basques to North Sydney route which she shares with the Caribou, the
Smallwood also travels the 260-nautical mile route from North Sydney
to Argentia on Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula in the summer months.”
