- In our new weekly series, historian Maxine Keoghan brings us a brief introduction to Waterford's history.
Today Maxine looks at the history of the waves of emmigration from the Irish South East to the island of Newfoundland, Canada and the lingering traces of the Waterford accent that persists in modern Newfies.
#WaterfordHistory #KeepWell
Newfoundlanders are proud of our Irish heritage.
Zero thumbs down so far - God bless Newfoundland!
The Irish voice comes out in their music in the pubs as well....both song and dance alike. Love it! Small wonder the Newfie's can drink...
Can’t wait to visit Waterford city and Dungarvan again one day
Actually many irish descendants lived on the east coast as well with strong irish accents they were all over the island not just the irish loop. Nevertheless, You've done a great job on telling a part of the true history of what took place in my home away from home. The out ports are communities alongside all the different bays along the coast of newfoundland. There use to be hundreds of these out ports or communities and many of these out ports have also died off because of the resettling, which you've talked about. Which destroyed these communities and the lives of many, many folks. My grandfather lost his lobster factory and my father and my older brohter's lost their fishing licenses. So they in turn, turn to carpentry work. What you failed to mention was that the government destroyed the fishing businesses which supplied the fish plants of thousands of fishermen. The government gave long liners the right to fish, who used drag nets to destroy the fishing grounds, which the government denied and failed to recognize. Instead they blamed the in shore fishermen for the decline of the fish, which is why they enforced the so called resettlement idea in the first place. Instead it was the foreign fishing vessels and the long liners that fished these waters and as a result destroyed the fishing grounds for years. That is why many newfoundlanders were forced out of these fishing ports, so the long liners and the greedy fishing corporations could fish the waters but the little guy was no longer able to fish. Which destroyed families and communities that is why many NewFoundLanders had to move away to the mainland because of the failed fisheries, which was done by our government, and later the government implemented the moratorium, which basically was the second wave of destruction that caused many to move away. That took place in the early nineties. Which caused even more of these communities to die off. As a result many had to moved off the island and moved to other provinces within Canada to find work. Mostly they moved to Ontario and Alberta and even British Columbia. And many moved to the USA. A lot of our women married US military service men because the US had a army bases all over the island during and after world war two. And young women from all over the island met these men and married them and moved to America. I have many relatives who live in America because my aunt married US service men. Our family left Ireland during the potato famine in the mid eighteen hundreds and lived in Summerville, which still exists but there aren't many folks left there any more. My older brother still lives there, but he says, now, not many are left. Its located in Bonavista Bay, which is on the far east coast of nfld about three hours drive from St John's.
Love your videos. Hope to visit Newfoundland some day!
I am from Newfoundland and my husband, my mother, and my Finnish husband went to Ireland for a holiday. Mom and I would twack the secondhand book shops looking for old cookbooks. No shop clerk could place our accents! One lovely lady said to me "I have never heard your accent before, what part of Ireland are ye from?" LOL BTW Definition of Newfoundland word Twack - to shop!
View " Tea with Babe Walsh of Ferryland.
Excellent.
Amazing! You really do sound alike!
the only way I can tell that she's not a Newfie is that she pronounces it "new-fun-lind" instead of "new-fun-LAND". Other than that, would guess she's from the southern coast of Newfoundland
Another reason they held on would be the Resistance to proper spoken English through Protestant reformation. These People refused in many ways to give up and give in too the Crown. Holding that accent and dialect said this is Ours, You can't and won't take it. It makes us unique, it makes us stand apart from you.
I'm not sure if that was an intended outcome or more as a result of the outports' isolation from the rest of the world for the better part of two centuries.
That's just the way we speak... Most people from the Northern parts of the province have more of a old west country English accent, where as the south coast and the Irish loop have and Irish accent... People get confused because the old west county accent sounds very similar to the accents spoken in Wexford... So the west country and Ireland both use the term b'y or bhoy for the word boy....

@@Sabbath0-q8s i do recall reading somewhere incidentally that the west country accent from england did have some influence on at least one regional irish accent .is that true ?and if so could it be the wexford one.
Rant and roar
p'ee !!!!
Maxine sounds the most Irish I'm guessing she's from Ireland proper.
Never heard them called out harbours. Mostly outport or harbours never out harbours
