Cabot Tower (on Signal Hill) was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's "Voyage of Discovery".
In 1919 a British aircraft departed from Lester's Field, in what is now the west central part of the city, and landed in Clifden, Ireland, less than 17 hours later, marking the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
Newfoundland is home to some of the world's largest and most accessible seabird colonies in North America.
Serious fires occurred in 1816, 1817, 1819, and 1846. AND THEN, the Great Fire of 1892 destroyed three-quarters of the city.
In 1901, Italian scientist Guglielmo Marconi set up a listening post on Signal Hill and successfully received the first wireless transmission from Europe.
