Turks Cove

47°56′03.84″N 53°20′38.86″W / 47.9344000°N 53.3441278°W / 47.9344000; -53.3441278 Turks Cove was a settlement in Trinity District. The first postmistress was Bridget Moore. Other Post Mistrisses include Anastasia Antle and Alice Ryan who was postmaster for 30 years up until 1972

There are Antles, Ryans, Conways, Moores and Samms in the cove. The community has never had more than 60 people and now, due to the job opportunities in Alberta, population stands at less than 30.

The cove is semi-circular and has some fantastic scenery. Local trees are small, close to the ocean, but a kilometer or so inland there is enough for firewood as well as lumber for houses and boat building.

There were a few fishermen left in the 1960s but their methods could not keep up with the higher technology and larger vessels used by others and it has slowed to where now only one, Terry Kelly, remains. Fishing even up to 1972 was carried out with 16th century methods because the poverty of the local people could not allow expansion and purchase of little more than cod traps.

The harbor is open and vulnerable to the most severe of all winds, those from the North West. Stages, wharves and boats disappear during the tail ends of hurricanes or even squalls, but worse was the arctic ice that invade each spring. Even after the disastrous Newfoundland Light and Power "Live Better Electrically" campaign, people continued to heat with wood. Electric ranges did take a hold eventually though and most houses now have electric heat backing up wood.

A one-room school served as a means of education until 1964 when the Catholic system closed and bussed students to the nearby town of Winterton.
