Returned home from Quebec City in 1997, this lighthouse rests once again on the site of the first maritime radio station in North America, installed by Marconi in 1904. A guided tour of the lighthouse and reconstructed T.S.F. (wireless telegraphy) building will take you back in time. To find out more about early 20th century methods of communication and the history of this area, be sure to visit two exibits on-site, Marconi and the Story of Radio Communications and Fame Point: As Time Goes By. |

Vue en plongée peu fréquente d'un phare gaspésien qui se découpe bien dans un ciel brumeux et terne.
