This is where John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown landed in 1919 after their first non-stop flight across the Atlantic. It took them 16 hours and 12 minutes to get here from Newfoundland. You can find out more about their history on informative boards. In addition, one of the first commercial stations for the transmission of radio messages is located here.
