Harold Chubbs

Harold Chubbs was born in Carbonear, Conception Bay, Newfoundland, in 1938. He attended St. James High School in Carbonear, and then undertook a five-year apprenticeship program working at the E. F. Barnes Machine Shop on Water Street, St. John’s. Graduating with a machinist certificate in 1960, he went on to become a marine engineer. In 1965, he began his thirty-year career with the Canadian Coast Guard in St. John’s. He worked first as a technician for the division of Marine Aids to Navigation, servicing equipment on light stations around the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. It was during this time that he began to keep a record of the fascinating oral history of the lightkeepers and their families. In 1978, he became a supervisor of maintenance on light stations and marine navigation systems, solar power, hydro power, generator power systems at Decca, loran C sites, and marine radio stations throughout the province. In 1990, he became project officer-in-charge of automation of the first twenty-four light stations with remote mentoring to a central location. Harold retired from the Coast Guard in 1995. Previously Harold has written copy to accompany the lighthouse paintings of Leslie H. Noseworthy in the publication Let There be Light: Paintings and Drawings by Leslie H. Noseworthy.
