32 There was a time, not so long ago, when "travelling to the Island in the West" meant going to meet your maker.

Interestingly, the hilltop over the word 'farewell', Gibbet Hill, was the last functioning gibbet in the British empire, where the corpses of executed criminals would be displayed, hanging in cages, to serve as a warning to potential wrongdoers.

I did not know Newfoundland had such an interesting history. Must look into it now.
