200 yrs ago today in Trinity: the “Ice Hunters” were schooners which, in late winter, made the hazardous sail to the ice pack, moving south from the Arctic, to harvest seals. The seal fishery was (along with the cod fishery) key to the local export economy https://t.co/CyssE66fCe
Trinity March 1st 1823 Saturday filled about half the water for the two Ice Hunters this day wind from the N.W. to S.W. and Southerly, major part S.W. & South tolerable fine and mild indicating another fall of Snow

Long shadows reaching towards The Parish Hall in Trinity, NL. Isn’t it amazing how these older buildings are restored and kept in such immaculate condition! Wonderful to see. #trinity #Newfoundland #history

200 years ago today in Trinity 🧵: William Kelson sourly states the essential Newfoundland truth that “so transient is the weather in this country, at this season that its not to be depended on for one small hour”.
Trinity Jany 13th 1823 Monday - Wind Southerly in the morning quite foggy and raining at intervals every appearance of a continuance of mild weather towards evening wind about W.b.N. and some little appearance of frost at hand so transient is the weather [1/2]

Kudos to Cst. Gilbert Hiscock for going above and beyond for grateful residents of Greenspond. In December, the note below was received by the RCMP. Cst Hiscock was recognized with the Commissioner’s Challenge Coin, presented by the #RCMPNL Commanding Officer. #InYourCommunity

200 years ago today in Trinity 🧵 : nothing especially remarkable about today, but a nice example of what life, or at least commercial life, was like back then, at this time of the year, in a busy Newfoundland regional hub and international trading port
Trinity Septr 4th 1822 Cloudy dull morning wind from the Northward and somewhat cool, Crocker put his Boat athwart the shore for the purpose of cleaning latter part of this day wind from the S.E. dull and some small rain falling [1/2]

Layers of cake or rock? Lol Amazing geology from one of the GeoPark locations here on the Bonavista Peninsula called Brook Point. It’s only a little detour off the King’s Cove Lighthouse Trail. Worth the detour if you hike the trail. #exploreNL #hikingadventures

I have been to many places around Newfoundland but none of them give you the same feeling that you get when you visit Trinity. There is just something about this small town that is so special and unique! ☀️ #ExploreNL #ExploreCanada
