- Question 2
- The Stowaway's Antonio
da Silva easy found a sense of belonging and home when he put down roots
in Newfoundland.
True.
Antonio da Silva found remarkable similarities between his Portuguese
heritage and the people of Newfoundland. Both cultures were closely
tied to the sea and the fishing lifestyle. Both were deeply rooted
in Catholicism. Both shared a love for folk music and dance. By the
late 1920s, Antonio had found himself a new home. He married a young
girl from the Maritimes, Mary Slaney, who had also lost her father
at sea. Together they raised seven children.
