It's a Fact!

The island of Newfoundland does not have snakes, skunks, deer, porcupines, or groundhogs.
Newfoundland has its own time zone - 1.5 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. This is where the sun first rises in North America.
Cabot Tower (on Signal Hill) was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's "Voyage of Discovery".
Serious fires occurred in 1816, 1817, 1819, and 1846. AND THEN, the Great Fire of 1892 destroyed three-quarters of the city.
In 1919 a British aircraft departed from Lester's Field, in what is now the west central part of the city, and landed in Clifden, Ireland, less than 17 hours later, marking the first non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
