Cape Roger Harbour (sometimes known as Cape Roger) is a tiny abandoned town located near St. Joseph's, Placentia Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada that had a tiny population of 4 in 1845.[1] Despite only being sparsely inhabited, the harbour has been used since the early 19th century for the fishery, particularly that of the herring and salmon fishery.[2][3]
