Moravian Church Mission Ships information


Etching of the Moravian Church mission ship Harmony #4 c1888 from With the Harmony to Labrador by the Rev. B. La Trobe.

The Moravian Church Mission Ships were a series of twelve ships (five named Harmony) that made an annual voyage from London to the Moravian Church mission stations in Labrador every summer for the 156 years between 1770 and 1926.[1][2] The purpose of the voyages was to supply provisions to the church's mission stations in Labrador and to rotate mission personnel.[1][2] All but one were pure sailing vessels; the final ship, Harmony #5, had an auxiliary steam engine.[2]
