Notes |
- He The following is quoted from the newspaper article "Newhooks, Master Shipbuilders"
(6) Charles Newhook (fourth), 1834-1915
Born at New Harbour in 1834, second son of Charles Newell Newhook (third), died there in 1915. He learnt the
shipbuilding trade at his native place, largely from his father's half-brother, Robert Penny Newhook (see below).
Charles Newhook (fourth) was the latest of the full-time Newhook master shipbuilders in newfoundland. He practised in the Newhook building dock at Cat Cove, New Harbour.
His son, Mr Robert Frederick Newhook (78), of 29 Amherst Heights, St. John's, tells me that when he was a boy his father, year after year, would have from one to three vessels in his charge for repairs. He recalled the names of five of them, belo nging to the Rorke mercantile firm of Carbonear, namely, Jessie, Margaret, Orion, L. and S. and Sophia. He has a certificate, written and signed by his father, to the effect that the latter had rebuilt and enlarged the schooner Flying Arrow in 18 84, for George C. Crosby of Brigus. Charles Newhook (fourth) also built at New Harbour the schooner Shamrock for
the Rorke firm; she was burnt at Emily Harbour, Labrador, while loading fish. Another schooner he rebuilt was the Czar, later lost on the Funks. No names or particulars are known to me of other vessels that Charles Newhook (fourth) master-built o r repaired.
