Overview
Fischot Island is an island and a former island community in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is part of the Fischot Islands, that lay just east of the Great Northern Peninsula, to the south of the town of St. Anthony. The village of Fischot Island had a population of 48 in 1935. The inhabitants of the 1.3 km (0.81 mi) round island, all resettled to new towns in search of work and better opportunities for raising their families. There were four main families that lived on the island. They were Alyward, Bromley, Davis, and Sexton. Most of these families originally came from England and Ireland. The island has been vacant for over 40 years now. The entrance way to Fischot Island is very narrow with shallow water due to many islands in the surrounding area, making it possible for only small boats to enter and lay anchor.
