Hiscock House Provincial Historic Site
Emma Hiscock was left pregnant and with five mouths to feed when her husband drowned in 1893. Her house, restored to 1910, captures the genteel life she managed to maintain through her resourcefulness and entrepreneurship. She ran a post office and shop and even rented out her front room to the Royal Bank. Her life and her children's lives offer a glimpse at the refined lifestyle that made Trinity no ordinary "outport": shopping trips to New York, private schools, and a town cricket team.

The offshore lines appearing in the map above which purport to delimit the offshore area of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador have no legal effect. Apart from the boundaries established pursuant to the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act, which include the line established pursuant to the 2002 award of the arbitration tribunal concerning the delimitation of portions of the offshore areas between Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia, there are no agreed boundaries between the offshore areas of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Government of Canada, the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island or Quebec or the Nunavut Territory, and no such boundaries have been established under statute, regulation or agreement. The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has made these facts known to Google.
