Bannatyne Cove

Canadian settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador

Bannatyne Cove is a Canadian fishing settlement in the Humber-Bay of Islands electoral district in Newfoundland and Labrador.[1] It is slightly southeast of Sopers, Allens Brook, Mount Moriah, and Giles Point, and slightly northwest of Pleasant Cove, Petries, and Georgetown.[2] It's a part of the city of Corner Brook.

A 1901 census shows 13 men, 4 women, and 14 homes.[3] In 1918, Bannatyne was listed within the St. George electoral district and its nearest post town was Curling.[4][3]

In 2014, Bannatyne Cove, along with a number of other locations around the Bay of Islands, showed signs of a green crab infestation.[5] An inedible, invasive species, it caused concern among biologists, as it is highly aggressive.
