A marble gravestone which has been repaired across the centre of the stone. It is dedicated to Susanna Soward, who died in 1885.

Day 9, Hand: We have a classic hand pointing to the heavens with a broken rose motif behind it, signifying a life cut short, with a crown above. This is the grave of Susanna Soward, at the Old Cemetery in Battle Harbour, Labrador.

The Old cemetery from on top of a hill at Battle Harbour. Everything is lush and green, with ferns and granite bedrock everywhere. There are about 19 marble and limestone gravestones below, and at lease 20 rough fieldstones.

We finished the Battle Harbour project yesterday, with 52 gravestones cleaned, reset, & repaired between 2 sites! We had to hike gear up a cliff to get to one of them, it was wild!! Feeling really lucky to have experienced that place! 🏺❤️

Walked like 12 km today & climbed up a cliff to haul our gear over to the new cemetery, but the fox came back! 😍 #battleharbour
