French Shore |
Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.01 sec. |
French ShoreArea, coast of Newfoundland, Canada. French fishermen were allowed by the English to fish and to dry their catch in the region after France gave up all other claims to Newfoundland in 1713. As defined by the Treaty of Paris (1783), the French Shore extended west around the island from Cape St. John in the north to Cape Ray in the southwest. In the 1880s Newfoundland began to develop a lobster fishery, and the treaty came under dispute. France sold its claims to the territory in 1904. How to thank TFD for its existence?
