Bristol's Hope

Bristol's Hope was the second Newfoundland colony established by Bristol's Society of Merchant Venturers. Located on Conception Bay it was a sister colony to Cuper's Cove and was established in 1618 when the Society won a land grant from King James I of England and settled by colonists from Cuper's Cove. Robert Hayman was the colony's first and only Proprietary Governor.

The colony existed at least until 1631 before being abandoned.
