Hann's Point Memorial and Lookout

Visit the Hann’s Point Memorial to pay tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives during World War II. This memorial was constructed in 1996 and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made to protect Lewisporte and the oil storage tanks that serviced the military operating out of Gander. On June 25th, 1942, an accidental explosion at this site killed five soldiers and injured 35 more. The memorial is a somber reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of those who served their country.
