Description
Cabot Tower is located on top of Signal Hill overlooking the city of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. In 1901, Guglielmo Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic wireless message at a position near the tower, the letter "S" in Morse Code sent from Cornwall, England. The first wireless transatlantic signal by Guglielmo Marconi is possibly the most important accomplishment in modern communications.
