• Main Author: Braye, Crystal
• Other Authors: Meadus, Calvert (Calvie) (1927-), "Calvert (Calvie) Meadus was born in the now resettled community of Loreburn, in Trinity Bay, on December 23, 1927. He learned how to build boats by watching and helping his father, Keid (Caleb), and Uncle Lige Elijah Price, as they built boats using a three-piece mould design method. In 1942, Calvie went to work building boats at the Clarenville Shipyard – the same year they built the shipyard itself. He worked at the shipyard for two or three years, playing a role in the construction of ten identical 500 tonne vessels known as the Splinter Fleet. Calvie spent most of his life as a fisherman and built boats in the off-season. "
