He The following is quoted from the newspaper article "Newhooks, Master Shipbuilders"
(6) Charles Newhook (fourth), 1834-1915
Born at New Harbour in 1834, second son of Charles Newell Newhook (third), died there in 1915. He learnt the
shipbuilding trade at his native place, largely from his father's half-brother, Robert Penny Newhook (see below).
Charles Newhook (fourth) was the latest of the full-time Newhook master shipbuilders in newfoundland. He practised in the Newhook building dock at Cat Cove, New Harbour.
His son, Mr Robert Frederick Newhook (78), of 29 Amherst Heights, St. John's, tells me that when he was a boy his father, year after year, would have from one to three vessels in his charge for repairs. He recalled the names of five of them, belo nging to the Rorke mercantile firm of Carbonear, namely, Jessie, Margaret, Orion, L. and S. and Sophia. He has a certificate, written and signed by his father, to the effect that the latter had rebuilt and enlarged the schooner Flying Arrow in 18 84, for George C. Crosby of Brigus. Charles Newhook (fourth) also built at New Harbour the schooner Shamrock for
the Rorke firm; she was burnt at Emily Harbour, Labrador, while loading fish. Another schooner he rebuilt was the Czar, later lost on the Funks. No names or particulars are known to me of other vessels that Charles Newhook (fourth) master-built o r repaired.

Obituary
John Newhook, of Trinity Bay
By H.F. Shortis
John Newhook of New Harbor, Trinity Bay was one of the last of the real old families that made shipbuilding in Trinity Bay for one hundred years.
We find mention of the Newhook family in the very earliest records. They were originally of French Huguenot extraction, and the real name Niuehook. They were prominently connected with shipbuilding, and many a sealer has been turned out by Charles and Robert Newhook.
Trinity Bay has been famous for shipbuilding for over 200 years, notably at Trinity, Hant's Harbour, New Perlican, but none of them ever came up to New Harbor when extra good foreign-going vessels were required. They will show you the stockyards at New Harbor where the Newhooks build the barque "Queen" for Punton and Munn, Harbour Grace. The "Queen" was a barque of 240 tons, and beat all competitors on foreign voyages. A few years ago some firm in Brazil compiled a list of all vessels that had reached there in the codfish trade during 30 years - from 1855-1885. These were the days that the Harbor Grace vessels went regularly to Rio de Janeiro, and often took cargoes of sugar and cotton thence to Liverpool, England in payment of their cargoes of fish. On this old record the "Queen" is mentioned as having made two trips from Harbor Grace to Brazil in 20 days. Another Barque of Punton and Munn, the Fleetwing, made three trips to Brazil in 21 day. The Newhooks also built the Tasso, for the firm of Stabb, Rowe, and Holmwood, St. John's the great rival of Kearney's barque Rothesay. Also the famous Henry Thomas in which Capt. Joe Houlahan brought in 11,000 seals one spring. Robert Newhook built the Maggie, a splendid brig for the firm of W.J.S. Donnelly. She was lost with all hands in the Mediterranean in 1868. Capt William Keefe, brother of Cap James L, the sealkiller, was master. Charles Newhook built the brig Charles for C.F. Bennett and Co., St. John's. She left St. John's at 4 o'clock on Friday evening in 1834 and on Sunday week Mrs C.F. Bennett attended morning Devine Service, in Bristol Cathedral. There are scores of other vessels built by the Newhooks
that were noted for their great sailing qualities. Those quoted above were wonderful quick voyages, and our friend John Newhook would never tire of telling about the Queen, or how his brother was
passenger on her very first trip to Liverpool with John Munn and his wife, also his son William P, and nephew William M Allan, afterwords so well known as Doctor Allan. The death of John Newhook marks a passing away of a landmark. I had the pleasure of his aquaintance for 60 years. He was one of those real old Newfoundland gentlement of the old school with whom it was a pleasure to meet, and withwhom rich and poor liked to associate. Mr. Newhook was about 80 years of age. Well may it be said he had not and enemy in the world, but hosts of friends who sincerely regret his passing, and sympathize with those after him in their bereavement.

The following is quoted from the newspaper article, "Newhooks, Master Shipbuilders"
(7) John Newhook (Postmaster), 1852-1934 Born at New Harbour in 1852, a younger son of Charles Newell Newhook (third), died there in 1934. He inherited the old dwelling house and extensive
premises on Newhook's Point. While he was a merchant most of his life, and also succeeded his oldest brother as Postmaster, he told me that he master-built a schooner on Newhook's Page 5 Point, whichwas recently confirmed to me by his son-in-law, Mr. Reginald Woodman. N. C. Crewe: "... John's daughter ..."; "his son-in-law Mr. Reginald Woodman". N. C. Crewe: " In an obituary of John Newhook (Postmaster at his native New Harbour and last surviving son of Charles Newell Newhook) ..."
In an obituary of John Newhook (Postmaster at his native New Harbour and last surviving son of Charles Newell Newhook), in the St. John's "Evening Telegram" of 12 December 1934, H. F. Shortis writes in part as follows: "Charles Newhook built the brig Charles for C. F. Bennett & Co., St. John's. She left St. John's at 4 o'clock one Friday evening in 1834 and on Sunday week Mrs. C. F. Bennett attended morning Divine Service in Bristol Cathedral. There are scores of other vessels built by the Newhooks that were noted for their great sailing qualities." Mrs. Bennett was obviously a passenger on the short crossing.
 
A page-long column in an old St. John's newspaper, entitled "Memorable springs and other information, Seal Fishery," has this to say concerning the year 1833: "Celebrated for the loss of the schooner Union, Capt. Jno. Delaney, with a picked crew of 28 men from Trinity; built by Charles Newhook of New Harbour for Jno. B. Garland, merchant; capsized while under full sail. April 23rd, the schooners Active and Avon took some of her seals and towed her for 2 days, but had to let her go."
 
The foregoing builder of the Charles and the Union was, I assume, Charles Newell Newhook (third), although he might have been Charles Newhook (second).
 
Lawrence O'Brien, merchant of St. John's, advertised in "The Public Ledger" of 8 December 1840 as follows: "On sale a new brig (not yet registered) of about 150 Tons Burthen, built at Trinity Bay, of the very best materials, by that established Ship-builder, Mr. Newhook, and under inspection of the owner; having extra BREAST HOOKS and FASTENINGS, BEAMS, &c, and is of a superior description, being intended for the Seal Fishery and the general trade of the country; was launched in June last, and now laying at the wharf of the Subscriber (advertiser)."
 
The foregoing builder of this new brig was, I assume, Charles Newell Newhook (third), although he might have been either of his two uncles, William Newhook (Trinity) and James Newhook (Norman's Cove), for whom see below.
 
Charles Newell Newhook (third) died at New Harbour in 1871, and his body was taken across the bay to Trinity for interment in the family vault in the Anglican cemetary.
 
No names or particulars are known to me of other vessels that Charles Newell Newhook (third) master-built or repaired.
