Newfoundland Pirate Stories: Peter Easton and Adventure Knox (feat. Tammy Hynes)

Part 1: Peter EastonIn the early 1600s, Peter Easton turned Newfoundland into something few would expect — a pirate stronghold. Operating out of Harbour Grace, Easton commanded a powerful fleet, raided ships across the Atlantic, and built a reputation that reached from England to the Mediterranean. For a time, he was nearly untouchable and earned the moniker ‘Pirate Admiral’. His presence on the island blurred the line between outlaw and authority figure.His story lives on in Newfoundland history, lore… and maybe maps.Part 2: Happy AdventureOn the Eastport Peninsula, Happy Adventure is a place with a name that practically begs for a story—and it has plenty. Some say it traces back to Peter Easton and his ship of the same name, while others point to a passing surveyor or the hopeful optimism of early settlers. Like much of Newfoundland’s folklore, the truth is hard to pin down — it’s lost somewhere between documented history and enthusiastic storytelling. Plaque in Happy Adventure, NLIn this segment, we dig into the competing origin stories behind the name, explore the landscape that may have inspired it, and follow the threads of pirate lore that run through the entire Eastport Peninsula. From “happy” adventures to more “damnable” ones, it’s a reminder that even the smallest places can hold some of the biggest — and most exciting — stories.Part 3: Tammy Hynes & Adventure KnoxTammy L. Hynes is a Newfoundland-based writer and educator whose work spans fiction, history, and creative nonfiction. She is the author of The Adventure Knox series and the forthcoming Wells of Truth series. Her past publications also include A History of Renews and Politics of the Kitchen, a unique collection of recipes from some of Canada’s most prominent politicians of the early 2000s. She has also contributed to the international bestseller How the Secret Changed My Life.Hynes is currently developing two Newfoundland-set fiction series: Adventure Knox, a young adult historical adventure series set in 1930s Newfoundland, and The Wells of Truth, an adult paranormal murder-mystery series. Blending historical fact with fiction, her writing brings Newfoundland’s past and atmosphere to life for a broad range of readers.In this episode, we dive into the first book in her Adventure Knox series, The Summer of Secrets.The novel follows Tese Knox, a young teen with a knack for finding adventures, so much so either becomes her nickname. One summer in Renews, Newfoundland, Tese stumbles across clues suggesting that a centuries-old legend of buried pirate treasure might actually be true. But as she digs deeper, the mystery leads somewhere far more unexpected — uncovering threads of corruption tied to Newfoundland’s former government, and igniting a sense of curiosity that reaches well beyond a single summer.Learn more about Tammy L.

Axe Murders at Shallow Bay

A man leaves for his trapline and doesn’t come back.At first, it’s nothing. A delay. Bad going. Weather turning the trails to slush. In a place like Bonne Bay, that’s part of life.But Sarah Singleton knows her brother, and as the days stretch on, the waiting starts to feel wrong. So she does what has to be done—she goes looking for him.What follows is a journey up the coast toward Shallow Bay, through melting snow and growing unease, where every mile seems to pull her further from the ordinary and closer to something sinister.When she finally reaches a lonely cabin on the shore, she finds a man waiting there—John Pelley. A trapper with a reputation and a temper.He says he hasn’t seen her brother.But something doesn’t sit right.Not the way he answers, not the way he watches them, and not the way he keeps that gun close at hand through the night.By morning, Sarah will find something in the snow that changes everything.And once she does — there’s no turning back.

The Christmas Cat of Keels

Newfoundland has its share of strange Christmas stories — but not too many involve hand-to-hand combat with a supernatural house cat.There’s only one I can think of, and it comes from the shores of Bonavista Bay. In this tale one unlucky soul finds out that not every creature stirring on Christmas Eve comes bearing gifts; some come looking for a fight.Read more at: <a href="https://www.productofnewfoundland.ca/articles/paddy-kelly-and-the-xmas-cat" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Product of Newfoundland</a>
