Smashem Head

Smashem Head is a small but distinctive headland on the southern shore of Big Merigomish Island, where it projects into the sheltered waters of Merigomish Harbour.

The unusual name comes from Robert Stewart, an early Robertson Island (now Big Merigomish Island) settler who was known for his favorite expression “smashem” used to describe battle scenes.

Kenneth Point is located on the south side of Caribou Island between MacCarthys Point and Mackenzie point, extending out into the Caribou Harbour. It was labeled as Harris Point on the 1879 map, possibly because the land grant here at that time was to Matthew Harris.
