History
The community of Seal Cove is located on the south side of the Connaigre Peninsula, the tip of which is considered to be the western extremity of Fortune Bay. To the east, across Connaigre Bay, Connaigre (Great Harbour)was frequented by the French from the 1600s. They dubbed the shore around Seal Cove and west to the tip of the peninsula Basse Terre (low land). The French were excluded from the south coast fishery in 1763, their presence commemorated only in such Anglicized place names as Connaigre and Bastern Shore.
