The first mail to be carried over the Atlantic and other firsts on the east coast of Canada

The first mail to be carried over the Atlantic originated from St. John’s, Newfoundland. Due to their proximity to Europe, Newfoundland and Cape Breton contributed to a number of firsts in communications in the early part of the 20th century. That part of Canada (I am from Cape Breton) is known for its beauty, its hospitality, and its culture, to name a few attributes. It should also be known for creating technological history as well.

  1. Very cool!
    Along a similar “line”….(pun intended)
    It’s hard to believe how long it took for someone to finally construct an official museum to recognize Marconi’s accomplishments!
    I love how historically relevant our little island is! Don’t you?
    So many things to be proud of! ; )

    1. I love the Marconi museum in Glace Bay! It is such a small place, but it is important it is noted, just the way Alexander Graham Bell is celebrated in Baddeck.

      Cape Breton is a great place in more ways than one.
