Musgrave Harbour Originally named Muddy Hole when first settled in 1834, was renamed to Musgrave Harbour in 1886 in honor of Governor Anthony Musgrave. Musgrave is known for its 7 km of fine white sandy beach that stretches along the coast line from the Fishermen's Museum to The Banting Memorial Municipal Park. Muddy Hole was a settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador. It is featured in the beginning of Farley Mowat's 1969 book The Boat Who Wouldn't Float.[1] The exact location of this town is unknown, but the text places it somewhere along Newfoundland's easternmost end, south of Ferryland.
