Book The Lookout

Download or read book The Lookout written by James E. Candow and published by Creative Publishers (India). This book was released on 2011 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, Signal Hill has dominated both the skyline of St. John’s, Newfoundland, and the hearts and minds of its residents. The Lookout traces the hill’s remarkable history as a military site and communications centre, with special attention to its most famous building, the former signalling station Cabot Tower. Conceived in 1897 as an expression of Newfoundland nationalism, the tower’s meaning would change drastically over the years. Those changes, however, were always in step with broader currents in Newfoundland society. Signal Hill was the site of the first attempted transatlantic wireless transmission by Marconi in 1901. It has also been the site of defenses for St. John’s Harbour from the eighteenth century right up to the Second World War. Signal Hill is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in eastern Canada. Finalist for the Democracy 250 Atlantic Book Award for Historical Writing

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Archaeological investigations were carried out during 1965 and 1966 at three areas in Signal Hill National Historic Park, St. John's, Newfoundland, to determine what remained of the military installations that formerly occupied the hill. These areas included the Queen's Battery, Lady's Lookout and the area where a new Interpretation Centre was to be constructed. Significant finds were made primarily in the first two areas. Structural remains found were typical of buildings of the first half of the 19th century, although these structures had had to be accommodated to the topography of the hill. Artifacts included clay pipes, buttons, bottle and ceramic fragments, and military insignia and accoutrements. The structural and artifact data are presented descriptively as a sample of British colonial materials dating from 1800 to 1860"--Abstract, p. 10.
