On 12 December 1901, the first transatlantic wireless transmission was received on Signal Hill by Guglielmo Marconi in an abandoned fever and diphtheria hospital, which has since been destroyed by fire. The transmission, in Morse code, originated from his Poldhu Wireless Station, Cornwall, UK.

Simeon the red-haired gibbon (toffee-coloured, if you please) has been off on his adventures again, this time to the South Western city of Bristol. Steeped in history, Bristol lies on the rivers Frome and Avon and gets its name from the Old English Brycgstow, meaning “the place at the bridge”.

Fog and rain in St. John’s, Newfoundland Cabot Tower on Signal Hill.  Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic wireless message on that hill. Ya’ll basically owe your wi-fi connection to this hunk of rock right here.
