Lucky you! Great Harbour Deep was resettled in the early 00's. You would have seen it when the fishery still provided a livelihood and future. I remember watching a special that CBC news ran in 2002 about the last person to leave, and yes their job was to turn out the lights (shut down the generator) as they walked down to the final ferry run.
