Pushthrough is a resettled fishing community located on Newfoundland and Labrador's south coast, about 20 km northwest of Hermitage. Permanent settlement at Pushthrough happened in 1814, when George Chambers moved there from Gaultois to establish a fishing room (a place for drying and storing fish) and later a store. The community lost population to Gaultois in the 1950s and to Head of Bay d'Espoir in the 1960s. The population peaked at 247 in 1961. In 1968, virtually all the families with school aged children moved, effectively leading to the downfall of the community. The Dawson Point lighthouse is located nearby.
