	The Portuguese In Newfoundland Waters
		Some of the longest settled and most historic parts of the Island of Newfoundland still bear names of Portuguese origin, since many of the 16th century cartographers were Portuguese and were the first to assign names to the major capes, bays, harbours and islands on the east and southeast coasts of Newfoundland.
		Despite the various nominal royal grants of land to the early Portuguese explorers, there appears to be no appreciable evidence of any organized or determined attempt to confirm territorial claims or ambitions by military or naval force or by planned colonization.
		It is a remarkable tribute to the rugged, hard-working men of the Portuguese fleet that so many thousands of them have staged their friendly invasion of Newfoundland's provincial capital at frequent intervals throughout the summer months and maintained an unrivaled reputation for good behavior that has kept them in high standing as extremely welcome visitors.
