About Savage Cove
Savage Cove is a small, sheltered inlet along the south side of Big Merigomish Island, opening into the protected waters of Merigomish Harbour. Marked on modern topographic maps and noted in local geographic references, the cove lies close to Savage Point, another feature on the island’s southern shoreline.
Historical mapping, including the 1842 Merigomish Harbour map depicts this stretch of coast, showing how coves like Savage provided natural landing places for small vessels and sheltered access to the island’s interior. Today, Savage Cove remains a quiet geographic feature, its low-lying shoreline and calm waters contributing to the ecological richness and geography of Merigomish Harbour.
