On Tuesday, July 6, Their Honours, the Lieutenant Governor, Dr. Maxwell
House, and Mrs. House, paid a visit to Bay D'Espoir as part of their Soiree '99 tour of
the south coast of the province aboard the HMCS St. John's. Their Honours arrived
aboard the HMCS St. John's in the mid-afternoon which was preceded by an impressive
display of manoeuvers by the crew of a SeaKing helicopter from the frigate. The frigate
was anchored in the harbour and the Lieutenant Governor and his entourage was brought to
shore by a Navy launch. On arrival at the Government Wharf, he was welcomed by the Mayor
Jerome Power of St. Alban's, the Hon. Oliver Langdon, MHA, and a large number of
townspeople who had gathered on the wharf.
The Vice-Regal party then proceeded to the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 53, where a
group of seniors had gathered for the occasion. Their Honours and the accompanying
Officers from the HMCS St. John's were greeted by each of the seniors and invited guests.
This was followed by a buffet dinner served by the Ladies Auxiliary.
The Lieutenant Governor departed Bay D'Espoir later in the evening for an overnight
steam to arrive Francois in the early morning and then on to Ramea in the evening.
