| This is a picture of the Old Cable House at Hazel Hill, Canso, Guysborough Count, Nova Scotia I will try to post more pictures in the future because my grandfather Aubrey Whitman was especially fascinated with this building. In its day it was a grand brick building where the transcontinental cable was housed, but sadly, today it is just a deserted building that has paint over it grand brickwork. What a great B&B this would make... the thought crossed my mind! It has a wonderful view. This is the place where the first transatlantic cable from North America to Europe connected and where the first distress message from the Titanic was received. See WHITMANIA!'s section on Nova Scotia for more information and links to the Cable Story. |
