The first day that we were in Trinity it rained all day. When we peered out of our cozy cabin we saw these jelly fish. Previous to this we had never seen this type, yet we had seen many of the large round orange/brown ones.
Once the rain slowed to a misty drizzle we walked about this historical village. As early as the 1600s Trinity was one of the largest harbours in Newfoundland. In recent years most of the historical buildings have been restored and many opened as museums. Here is the third Anglican church (circa 1903) built on this site. The grave markers, which were huge, date from the 1700s.
This is the Catholic church which was built in the late 1800s:

Some of the largest old buildings were adjacent the waterfront and had been associated with the fishing trade:
These waterfront buildings have been converted into a dinner theatre:

When looking out our companionway this is what we saw:
