Cape Bear Heard the Titanic
On the night of April 14, 1912, Thomas Bartlett received the first distress signal in Canada from the Titanic as it was sinking off the coast of Newfoundland.
A similar station at Cape Race in Newfoundland was in communication with the Titanic, but at that time Newfoundland was not a part of Canada.
