It's a Fact!
- 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.
- In 1901, Italian scientist Guglielmo Marconi set up a listening post on Signal Hill and successfully received the first wireless transmission from Europe.
- Newfoundland has its own time zone - 1.5 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. This is where the sun first rises 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.
- The island of Newfoundland does not have snakes, skunks, deer, porcupines, or groundhogs.
