I travelled along a dirt road for over a half hour to visit this place... I have always been so interested in anything that has to do with the Titanic, so this was on my bucket list for so long... I was so disappointed to find the lighthouse was under construction so close-up shorts were pretty!
Cape Race on the southern tip of Newfoundland’s Avalon Peninsula figures prominently in almost every re-telling or depiction of Titanic’s final hours. Most people who have followed the Titanic’s history know that the doomed ship was in near constant communication with Cape Race on its Marconi wireless prior to hitting the iceberg as passengers passed along greetings and business messages to folks on land all over North America. Ice warnings were ignored by the Titanic’s Captain Smith. Soon after, Cape Race was coordinating the rescue with Carpathia and other nearby vessels with wireless sets.
