Location of Abbott Cove in Newfoundland
The 1913 McAlpine Gazetteer lists the community in "Twillingate District" and states that the nearest post town is Fortune Harbour.[2]
An 1884 pilot guide discusses an Abbot Cove in Notre Dame Bay:
- Eastern point, the extreme of a narrow promontory rising to a wooded cone, 390 feet high. Foul ground extends a short distance from the head, and sunken rocks encumber Abbot cove, the bight close east of Eastern point. A conspicuous hill, 435 feet high, falls perpendicularly to the head, where a small village is situated.[3]
