Heart's Content Lighthouse
Hearts Content, Newfoundland - Canada HD Travel Channel
The “Mile One” of the Trans Canada Highway is in St. John's, Newfoundland. From here it runs on the 4.990 miles across the entire country. For our visit to the Heart's Content Cable Station, we do not take the direct route. We travel from St. John's on the Trans Canada Highway up to the junction to the Highway 71 and from there to the town of Carbonear.
Carbonear, located on the Avalon Peninsula - the easternmost part of the island of Newfoundland - is one of the oldest permanent settlements of Newfoundland.
From here we continue our way on Highway 74 to the Heart's Content. In 1866, after the first telegraph cable successfully landed here, Heart’s Content became a relay station between Europe and New York.
The old equipment in the Heart's Content Cable Station is still well preserved. The end of the cable which once disappeared here in the water and came back to the surface in Ireland still hangs out of the control cubicle.
You can visit the Heart's Content Cable Station during the summer months daily from 10:00 to 5:30.
At the northern end of the bay of Heart’s Content is the lighthouse, built in 1901. His coat reminds of a red white candy cane.

Der Kilometer Eins des Trans Canada Highway ist in St. John's in Neufundland. Von hier aus läuft er an die 8000 km quer durchs ganze Land. Für unseren Besuch der Heart´s Content Cable Station nehmen wir nicht den direkten Weg, sondern fahren von St. John’s über den Trans Canada Highway bis zur Abzweigung zum Highway 71 und von dort bis Carbonear.
Carbonear, eine der ältesten dauerhaften Siedlungen Neufundlands liegt auf der Avalon Halbinsel, dem östlichsten Teil der Insel Neufundland.
Von hier geht es weiter über den Highway 74 nach Heart’s Content. Hier gab es, nachdem 1866 die Verlegung des ersten Kabels für den transatlantischen Nachrichtenverkehr geglückt war, eine Relaisstation zwischen Europa und New York. Die alten Geräte in der Heart´s Content Cable Station sind noch gut erhalten. Aus einem Schaltschrank hängt noch das Ende des Kabels, das hier einst im Wasser verschwand und in Irland wieder an die Oberfläche kam.
In den Sommermonaten ist die Heart's Content Cable Station täglich von 10:00 – 5:30 für Besucher geöffnet.
Am nördlichen Ende der Bucht von Heart`s Content befindet sich der 1901 erbaute Leuchtturm. Sein Anstrich erinnert an eine rot-weiße Zuckerstange.

What’s in a Name? – Heart’s Content
Around here, there are hundreds of places and thousands of stories. They say that when the first settlers reached Heart’s Content, they wanted for nothing. There were waterways rich with fish, fields fit for farming, and forests teeming with wildlife. But don’t take our word for it, here’s John to tell you a tale about how he thinks it came by its namesake.

Hearts Content 1980's
I shot this video in the mid 1980's, the year before the big church on the hill burned to the ground.
I thought I would share it with anyone that would like to see it. Traditional music is from an album
called Canadian Celtic from the mid 70's.

James Dupré Colour at Hearts Content Beach , Newfoundland July 15 2018
In Color as written by Lee Thomas Miller, Jamey Van Johnson and James Otto.A Jamie Johnson cover by James Dupre' recorded in Hearts Content Newfoundland July 15,
This song is a largely acoustic ballad centralizing on an elderly man who is showing black-and-white photographs to his grandson, each photograph showing a various part of the man's life. Describing the instances in each photos, such as fighting in World War II and the day he and his wife first got married, he recalls his own life story to his grandson, telling him that [he] should have seen it in color (i.e., that the grandson would have had to be there himself to know what each experience was truly like). Trace Adkins was originally slated to record the song, until Johnson asked Adkins' permission to record the song himself.] Adkins did record the song as an iTunes exclusive bonus track on his 2008 album, . Here James Dupre' covers this song at a Beach Campfire in Hearts Content Newfoundland (July 15 2018)
