4. From "Pot Heads and Drumhoops, A Folk History of New Harbour, Trinity Bay" (1995), by Garry Cranford with Raymond Hillier: Charles Newhook II was the town's leading citizen. When his wife died, a scribe at Trinity recorded, "Monday, 2nd April, 1810, Charles Newhook arrived from New Harbour in a schooner with his wife's corpse on board".
BIOGRAPHY:1. Per N.C. Crewe:
Charles Newhook (second), 1778-1839
Born at "Trinity Bay," assumedly Trinity, in 1778, eldest child of Charles Newhook (first).
This man probably succeeded his father as master shipbuilder at Trinity for the Garland firm, either immediately after his father's 1799 death or after a lapse of years. He married his first wife, nee Catherine Newell, of Trinity, at that place in 1804.
About 1806, he moved to New Harbour, where he resided, as master shipbuilder for the Garland firm and leading
inhabitant, until about 1832, when (with his second wife) he moved back to Trinity, to be again Garland's master shipbuilder there.He had four children by his first marriage, one being a son named Charles Newell Newhook, born at New Harbour in 1806.
Pages 155-6 of "The Methodist Magazine," London, for February 1819, carry a long extract from the diary of Rev. William Ellis, then Methodist minister at Trinity, describing his missionary visitation of places in the bay in 1817. Mr Ellis records that, on arrival of Mr. Garland's boat at New Harbour, in which he had taken passage from Trinity, "...... we were met in the harbour by Mr. Newhook, in his pleasure boat, and conducted to his house, where we were hospitably entertained. In 1815 the inhabitants built a neat little church ......"
At that time, Charles Newhook (second) was a widower. His large, plastered house stood near the middle of the south shoreline of New Harbour, opposite the present house of Mr. Robert Walter Ellis Newhook, his great-grandson.
The church stood for many years, predecessor of the present Anglican church. Its notice board is preserved in the Anglican Cathedral's museum, St. John's. The end portion of the board that carried the name of "Charles Newhook, Architect" is broken off and lost. Years ago, I saw a photograph of the board, ending with these three signature words, which indicate that Charles Newhook (second) was the church's designer and, no doubt, master carpenter.
In Accession no. 253, at the Newfoundland Archives, there is a manuscript "List of all ships surveyed in the Port of Trinity, between 4 February 1835 and 17 December 1841, by Robert Bayly, Surbeyor of Navigation." There are listed five vessles, built or re-built at Trinity, with the name C. Newhook given as the re-builder of one, the cutter Bee, of 40 tons, and that of C. Newhook, Senior, listed as the builder of three new brigs and a schooner, named George Robinson, Garland, Victoria and Dart, all owned by the Garland firm and of the average size of 146 tons.
The foregoing C. Newhook, and C. Newhook, Senior, are obviously Charles Newhook (second).
In some St. John's newspaper of 8 November 1907, probably "The Evening Herald," there is a lengthy article, evidently composed in 1893 when the narrator, Captain Andrews, was eighty-seven, and now reprinted, entitled "Biography of Capt. Henry Andrews, of Port de Grave." He was a noted sealing master, and lived for some years in Trinity about 1835. Paragraph 5 reads: "The next year, 1830, I went to the ice in a brig called the Beaver, built at New Harbour by John Newhook, 150 tons burthen ......"
Now, there was no John Newhook as a master shipbuilder in or before the year 1830, and the above name is a mistake, in Andrews' memory, for Charles Newhook (second) or William Newhook (Trinity).
Charles Newhook (second) was in St. John's in the spring of 1839, when he fell from a vessel's mast and was killed. "The Times," a city newspaper, in its issue of 15 May 1839, has the following newsitem:-
"Died. At this place Monday last, of concussion of the brain, occasioned by an accidental fall whilst engaged in the duties of his profession, Mr. Charles Newhook, aged 65 years, for upwards of 30 years master shipbuilder in Trinity and neighborhood for Messrs John Bingley Garland & Co. Mr Newhook was a most skilful, active and perservering man, and his death is sincerly regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance."
The issue of 14 May 1839, of "The Royal Gazette," reports the death more fully, thus:-
"In the afternoon of yesterday the Coroner was called in to hold an inquest on the body of Mr. Charles Newhook, Sr., of Trinity, who was accidentally killed by falling from the mast of a wrecked vessel at the South side of this harbour; a verdict to this effect was returned by the Jury. The deceased Mr. Newhook was well known and much respected both in this community and in Trinity Bay."
He was actually in his sixty-first year, and was buried in the Anglican cemetary at Trinity.
No names or particulars are known to me of other vessels that Charles Newhook (second) master-built or repaired.
...
Second Marriage, 1820In 1820 Charles Newhook (second) married, at Carbonear, his second wife, Miss Martha Penny of that place (Carbonear Methodist register). Evidently the Anglican groom must have shared a doubt of that period of the legal competance of a Methodist minister to perform marriages, as the couple were re-married next year by the Anglican rite (Trinity Anglican register).
Two of the three sons of this marriage, Robert Penny Newhook and Jonas N. Newhook, became prominant master
shipbuilders. They were old enough at the time of their father's fatal accidental death in 1839 to have received some training under him.2. Per Garry Cranford's book, "Potheads and Drumhoops: A Folk History of New Harbour", Page 64 describes 'Shipbuilding in New Harbour' and more specificially Charles Newhook II's involvement:
"From the early 1800's onward, for one hundred years, shipbuilding was a key element in the economic and social development of New Harbour. It began when Benjamin Lester's firm based in Trinity brought Charles Newhook over from England as one of his shipwrights: His son, Charles Newhook II, established a permanent shipyard at Cat Cove in New Harbour by 1804.
However, before this, Lester had sent ship's carpenter William Hookey to New Harbour to 'heave a ship down.' Obviously, the deepwater site sheltered from the wind by what is now called Miller's Point was utilized on a regular basis by ship builders in the eighteenth century.
Charles Newhook II was the town's leading citizen. When his wife died, a scribe at Trinity recorded, "Monday, 2nd April, 1810, Charles Newhook arrived from New Harbour in a schooner with his wife's corpse on board." In 1815, he built the first church, located in the Anglican cemetery, and overlooking his dockyard. In business, he was allied with George Garland, Lester's successor, for whom he operated a grog shop, no doubt recovering a substantial portion of his dockworkers' salary by selling them the demon rum.
At New Harbour, Charles Newhook worked with his brothers James and William, but after some dispute, James relocated to Norman's Cove; William returned to Trinity. Charles Newhook II returned to Trinity by 1829, since the ships registry at St. John's records vessels built by him there from that time onward. At that time, it is likely that the dockyard was left in the capable hands of his three shipwright sons: Charles Newell Newhook, Robert Penney Newhook, and Jonas N. Newhook.
Charles Newhook II also worked at St. John's. In fact, that is where he died, while working in the rigging of a ship in the harbour. 'The Royal Gazette' of May 14, 1839, states, 'In the afternoon of yesterday the Coroner was called to hold an inquest on the body of Charles Newhook, S. of Trinity, who was accidentally killed by falling from the mast of a wrecked vessel at the south side of this harbour; a verdict to this effect was returned by the Jury. The deceased Mr. Newhook was well known and much respected both in this community and in Trinity Bay.'
It is difficult to identify the vessels solely attributable to Charles Newhook II, because the records are incomplete. Also, it is possible that his brothers James and William may have designed some of the following: CABOT, JOHN (1808), HOPE, LIVELY, MARIA, JOHN (1812), SWIFT, AUGUSTUS, DOLPHIN, MARY AND THOMAS, CURLEW, ACTIVE, AMY, LEAH (1824), BILLOW, TRANSIT, and BETSEY. The largest of these was the AUGUSTUS, a brig of 181 tons, built for George Garland."
Catherine NEWELL [Parents] 1, 2, 3, 4 was born in Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland and was christened 5, 6 on Nov 02 1762 in St. Paul's Anglican Church, Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. She died 7, 8, 9 estimated Jan 22 1810 in Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland and was buried 10 on Apr 04 1810 in Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. Catherine married 11 Charles NEWHOOK on Jan 17 1804 in Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland.

BURIAL:
1. Per the NGB's transcription of St. Paul's Anglican Parish, Trinity, Trinity Bay Burial Records for 1786-1815:

2. Per Pothead and Drumhoops by Garry Cranford and Ray Hillier: When his wife died, a scribe at Trinity recorded, "Monday, 2nd April, 1810, Charles Newhook arrived from New Harbour in a schooner with his wife's corpse on board."
3. Per Jennifer L. Bishop it is likely she died on 22nd of January 1810 of maternal death after giving birth to son Joshua Newell Newhook and not on the 2nd as per the transcription on the NGB website. Probably due to weather or ice conditions, Charles was not able to bring Catherine to Trinity for burial until April. And presumably there was no option for a funeral or burial at New Harbour before that time. Possibly he then stayed at Trinity or made another trip in June as this was when their last child Joshua was baptised.
They had the following children:

In some St. John's newspaper of 8 November 1907, probably "The Evening Herald," there is a lengthy article, evidently composed in 1893 when the narrator, Captain Andrews, was eighty-seven, and now reprinted, entitled "Biography of Capt. Henry Andrews, of Port de Grave." He was a noted sealing master, and lived for some years in Trinity about 1835. Paragraph 5 reads: "The next year, 1830, I went to the ice in a brig called the Beaver, built at New Harbour by John Newhook, 150 tons burthen ......"
Now, there was no John Newhook as a master shipbuilder in or before the year 1830, and the above name is a mistake, in Andrews' memory, for Charles Newhook (second) or William Newhook (Trinity).
Charles Newhook (second) was in St. John's in the spring of 1839, when he fell from a vessel's mast and was killed. "The Times," a city newspaper, in its issue of 15 May 1839, has the following newsitem:-
"Died. At this place Monday last, of concussion of the brain, occasioned by an accidental fall whilst engaged in the duties of his profession, Mr. Charles Newhook, aged 65 years, for upwards of 30 years master shipbuilder in Trinity and neighborhood for Messrs John Bingley Garland & Co. Mr Newhook was a most skilful, active and perservering man, and his death is sincerly regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance."
The issue of 14 May 1839, of "The Royal Gazette," reports the death more fully, thus:-
"In the afternoon of yesterday the Coroner was called in to hold an inquest on the body of Mr. Charles Newhook, Sr., of Trinity, who was accidentally killed by falling from the mast of a wrecked vessel at the South side of this harbour; a verdict to this effect was returned by the Jury. The deceased Mr. Newhook was well known and much respected both in this community and in Trinity Bay."
He was actually in his sixty-first year, and was buried in the Anglican cemetary at Trinity.
No names or particulars are known to me of other vessels that Charles Newhook (second) master-built or repaired.
...
Second Marriage, 1820In 1820 Charles Newhook (second) married, at Carbonear, his second wife, Miss Martha Penny of that place (Carbonear Methodist register). Evidently the Anglican groom must have shared a doubt of that period of the legal competance of a Methodist minister to perform marriages, as the couple were re-married next year by the Anglican rite (Trinity Anglican register).
Two of the three sons of this marriage, Robert Penny Newhook and Jonas N. Newhook, became prominant master
shipbuilders. They were old enough at the time of their father's fatal accidental death in 1839 to have received some training under him.2. Per Garry Cranford's book, "Potheads and Drumhoops: A Folk History of New Harbour", Page 64 describes 'Shipbuilding in New Harbour' and more specificially Charles Newhook II's involvement:
"From the early 1800's onward, for one hundred years, shipbuilding was a key element in the economic and social development of New Harbour. It began when Benjamin Lester's firm based in Trinity brought Charles Newhook over from England as one of his shipwrights: His son, Charles Newhook II, established a permanent shipyard at Cat Cove in New Harbour by 1804.
However, before this, Lester had sent ship's carpenter William Hookey to New Harbour to 'heave a ship down.' Obviously, the deepwater site sheltered from the wind by what is now called Miller's Point was utilized on a regular basis by ship builders in the eighteenth century.
Charles Newhook II was the town's leading citizen. When his wife died, a scribe at Trinity recorded, "Monday, 2nd April, 1810, Charles Newhook arrived from New Harbour in a schooner with his wife's corpse on board." In 1815, he built the first church, located in the Anglican cemetery, and overlooking his dockyard. In business, he was allied with George Garland, Lester's successor, for whom he operated a grog shop, no doubt recovering a substantial portion of his dockworkers' salary by selling them the demon rum.
At New Harbour, Charles Newhook worked with his brothers James and William, but after some dispute, James relocated to Norman's Cove; William returned to Trinity. Charles Newhook II returned to Trinity by 1829, since the ships registry at St. John's records vessels built by him there from that time onward. At that time, it is likely that the dockyard was left in the capable hands of his three shipwright sons: Charles Newell Newhook, Robert Penney Newhook, and Jonas N. Newhook.
Charles Newhook II also worked at St. John's. In fact, that is where he died, while working in the rigging of a ship in the harbour. 'The Royal Gazette' of May 14, 1839, states, 'In the afternoon of yesterday the Coroner was called to hold an inquest on the body of Charles Newhook, S. of Trinity, who was accidentally killed by falling from the mast of a wrecked vessel at the south side of this harbour; a verdict to this effect was returned by the Jury. The deceased Mr. Newhook was well known and much respected both in this community and in Trinity Bay.'
It is difficult to identify the vessels solely attributable to Charles Newhook II, because the records are incomplete. Also, it is possible that his brothers James and William may have designed some of the following: CABOT, JOHN (1808), HOPE, LIVELY, MARIA, JOHN (1812), SWIFT, AUGUSTUS, DOLPHIN, MARY AND THOMAS, CURLEW, ACTIVE, AMY, LEAH (1824), BILLOW, TRANSIT, and BETSEY. The largest of these was the AUGUSTUS, a brig of 181 tons, built for George Garland."
