## Resource

Before the internet or radio, a tiny Newfoundland outpost called Cape Race was the world’s fastest news relay station—ships dumped news canisters into the ocean, five men raced out to grab them, and telegraphed stories from Europe to New York in hours. This daring, decade-long operation, powered by the Associated Press and fueled by Newfoundland’s strategic location, revolutionized global news speed—and it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves.
