HARBOR GRACE. A port of entry on the west side of Conception Bay, Newfoundland, 27 miles west by north of Saint John's; the second town of importance in the island (Map: Newfoundland, G 5). The harbor is large, but exposed; it has a patent slip 260 feet long, and the wharves are protected by the beach. The trade of Harbor Grace is nearly one-fourth of that of the entire island. Population, in 1891, 6467; in 1901, 5184.
