1905 newspaper report that it was shaped like Virgin Mary. On June 24TH , 1905 , feast of St .John the Baptist and 408th anniversary of the discovery of Newfoundland by John Cabot ~ an iceberg of majestic proportions appeared off the Narrows~ entrance to the Habour of St Johns ~ the figure of the Blessed Virgin Mary seemed to be discernible in its shape..
I found this photo on The Newfoundland History Buffs facebook group page and decided to take a closer look..............................................................................................
After some exposure tweaks i can see the shape more clearly the with some smoothing this was the end result... still this photo is not the original and was copied from the web so the quality is low..(less)
