Renatus' Kayak
Renatus' Kayak: A Labrador Inuk, an American G.I. and a Secret World War II Weather Station | Rozanne Enerson Junker
1 post | 1 read
The origin of Renatus' Kayak lies with a model sealskin kayak made in 1944 by Renatus Tuglavina and given to Woody Belsheim, a radio operator at a secret American weather station in Hebron, Labrador. Knowledge of the weather station and Renatus' life were lost to time until Junker began her quest, seventy years later.

Fascinating story about Inuk culture in Labrador and a secret US weather station there in WW2. Written by the friend of a friend. Introduced me to many things I‘d never thought about: Labrador, Vikings, living somewhere that cold.
