The U-537 made the only armed German landing on North American soil in WWII.
U-537 left Kiel, Germany on September 18, 1943. She made a brief stop in Bergen, Norway and headed out to sea again on 30 Sept. The boat went on patrol in the western North Atlantic under Kptlt. Peter Schrewe. Its task was to set up an automatic weather station on the coast of Labrador. U-537 carried a scientist, Dr. Kurt Sommermeyer, and Wetter-Funkgerät (WFL) number 26 (the sixth in a series of 21 such stations) manufactured by Siemens. It consisted of various measuring instruments, a 150-watt Lorenz 150 FK-.type transmitter and ten canisters with nickel-cadmium and dry-cell high-voltage batteries.
On October 22 U-537 arrived at Martin Bay at the northern tip of Labrador. For the next 48 hours U-537 lay at anchor while the crew manhandled the 220-pound canisters, along with a tripod and mast, into rubber boats and then onshore. The weather station was set up 400 yards inland on a 170 feet high hill. At 5:40 P.M. on October 23, having ensured that the station was functioning properly, Schrewe weighed anchor and set off for an anti-shipping patrol off Newfoundland. His patrol was uneventful and on December 8 U-537 returned to Lorient, France.
Reports indicate that the weather station sent out normal transmissions for a few days, but then there was apparent jamming on that frequency (about which nothing is known; no evidence has yet turned up that the Allies learned about the equipment).

It consisted of several measuring instruments, a telemetry system and a 150 watt Lorenz 150 FK-type transmitter It also had 10 cylindrical canisters which were about 3 feet tall and weighed around 220 lb each. One canister contained the instruments and was attached to a 10-metre (33 ft) antenna mast. A second, shorter mast carried an anemometer and wind vane. The other canisters contained nickel-cadmium batteries that powered the station. The WFL would broadcast weather readings every three hours during a two minute transmission on 3940 kHz. The system could work for up to six months, depending on the number of battery canisters. All of this material had to be carried from the U-Boat, put into rubber dinghies, rowed ashore and carried ¼ of a mile inshore to be installed at the station. This was all done in a little over 24 hours by hand and in October in northern Labrador, meaning most of it was done in near darkness.

Woman of Labrador by Andy Vine
Performed by Faith Clarke. From Andy Vine: Elizabeth Goudie (née Blake) [1902-1982] was born in Mud Lake, Labrador, and between 1963 and 1971 wrote her autobiography, Woman Of Labrador (Peter Martin Associates, Ottawa, 1973). Her story of life in the Labrador bush was considered so important for its historical record that she was awarded an honourary doctor of laws degree in 1975 by Memorial University of St. John's, Newfoundland. In 1980 the provincial government building in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador, was named after her.

Basque Whalers & Southern Inuit: Worlds in Collision or Collaboration?
Basque/Inuit Archaeology in the Northern Gulf of St. Lawrence
Exploring Climate, Environment, and Cultural Interactions
William Fitzhugh
Director, Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center,
Department of Anthropology at the National Museum of Natural History
Dartmouth College Visiting Professor, Department of Anthropology
During the 16-17th centuries, in the midst of the Little Ice Age, two pioneering peoples from opposite corners of the world reached the northeastern Gulf of St. Lawrence and found ways to collaborate in unusual ways. Basques provided European material culture in return for Inuit assistance whaling and codfishing. Both were eventually driven out—the Inuit to northern Labrador and the Basques succumbed to competition from other European whalers and fishermen. This seminar explores the climate, environment, and cultural factors leading to the rise and decline of the first Inuit-European joint venture in the New World.
