Hotels & Motels - Heart's Content
 

Heart's Content helped usher in the modern age when the first successful transatlantic telegraph cable was landed by the Great Eastern on July 27, 1866. The community served as a major cable relay station for over a century. Visit the old Cable Station, which has been preserved and is now open to the public during the summer months as a Provincial Historic Site. The Cable Station is a special hit with people interested in communications. It seems like all you have to do is turn on the equipment and begin sending and receiving messages. There are informative displays on the various cables, the changes in technology during the life of the station and some of the people involved in developing long-distance telegraphy.
