It's a Fact!
  • 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".
  • Newfoundland is the world's sixteenth largest island, and the area of Labrador is over twice that of Newfoundland's.
  • The pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea) is the official flower of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the puffin is the official bird.
  • The majority of the population in St. John's Newfoundland and Labrador descends from both Ireland and England.
  • 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.
