Ireland's Eye, Newfoundland and Labrador
Ireland's Eye was a small settlement on an island of the same name[1] off the northeast corner of Random Island in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.[2] It is accessible only by boat.
Ireland's Eye was occupied as early as 1675.[1] A way office was established in 1886. The first waymaster was Thomas Cooper. The schooner Annie E. Conrad ran aground here on 16 July 1929. There was a post office between 1941 and 1965.[3] The population was 157 in 1911, 92 in 1956, and 16 by 1966.[1] The community was resettled on October 12, 1965.
Ireland's Eye shared the island with several other resettled communities, including Ivanhoe and Black Duck Cove.
