Following the collapse of the cod fisheries, the 17th-century fishing community of Harbour Deep vanished from the map in 2002 when the last of its residents left. But its ghost survives in the culture, because of a traditional "set dance" that Harbour Deep people had danced for longer than anyone could remember. It was unique to the place. Although the community has disappeared, the dance survives and is now stepped out by other feet—ironically including those of summer tourists looking for an "authentic" taste of Newfoundland outport life.
