Heart's
Content Cable Station Provincial Historic Site
|
| Experience
a time when information could travel from Europe to North America no
faster than the ship that carried it. Learn what a difference it made when
the transatlantic telegraph cable transferred that information almost
instantaneously. After
the failure of two earlier attempts, a permanent transatlantic telegraph
cable was landed in 1866. See the equipment and displays explaining role
Heart's Content played in communication for almost 100 years. A framed
print can be
purchased here. |
