Perched on Labrador’s rugged coast, the Battle Harbour Marconi Towers are a rare piece of early global communication history. Built in 1904 as part of Newfoundland’s wireless network, they played a key role in maritime safety and international messaging. In 1909, Admiral Robert Peary’s North Pole expedition announcement was transmitted from here, gaining worldwide recognition.
Battle Harbour, a National Historic District, was once a thriving fishing village and key stop for North Atlantic ships. Today, it offers visitors a glimpse into the past with its preserved buildings and immersive cultural experiences. The Marconi Towers stand as symbols of technological progress, connecting this remote community to the world.
