Heart's Content

Built around a landing point for transatlantic telegraph cables, Heart's Content grew into a small coastal community on Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. In 1866, the Great Eastern brought the first successful permanent telegraph cable across the Atlantic ashore here, establishing a direct communications link with Ireland. The Heart's Content Cable Station Provincial Historic Site recalls the cable era and the operators who worked from this remote shore. Rocky coastline and Atlantic weather shape life on the Bay de Verde Peninsula. Browse other webcams across Newfoundland and Labrador to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
