Red Bay is a historic coastal community located on the southern coast of Labrador, Canada. The site holds significant historical importance as a 16th-century Basque whaling station and was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013.
From approximately 1530 to 1600, Red Bay served as a major whaling port for Basque sailors who traveled across the Atlantic to hunt whales and process whale oil. The cold waters and strategic location of Red Bay made it an ideal base for these operations. Archaeological discoveries in the area have revealed numerous artifacts from this period, including whale bones, tools, and remnants of processing facilities.
The community now serves as an important cultural and historical destination, offering insights into early European presence in North America and the history of commercial whaling operations.
