On December 12, 1901, an amateur scientist sat in an abandoned hospital, waiting in silence. What was he waiting for? The impossible. Marconi’s Legacy in Newfoundland and Labrador tells the story of how a man named Guglielmo Marconi became a pioneer of wireless communications, how he brought wireless communication to Newfoundland and Labrador, and how it changed the little colony forever.
