Trammer (sometimes spelled Tremor or Tranmer) is an abandoned town in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada that had a peak population of 15 in 1901.
Located near the resettled community of Femme in Fortune Bay, Trammer was first settled in the 1870s by the family of James Evans. Never a large town, it first appears in the census of 1884 with a small population of 6 with the Handrigan, Paul and Osmond families being the only other occupants from that first census until the turn of the century.[2] [3] By the turn of the 20th century, Trammer's residents were active in the fishery, particularly that of cod, herring, and lobster.
