CONNECT WITH THE CCRS
The Commercial Cable Company’s Atlantic cable stations at Far Rockaway (Long Island - New York), Hazel Hill (Nova Scotia) and Waterville (Ireland) were considered to be three of the finest and most perfectly appointed cable stations in the world. They were fitted with the latest and most improved cable apparatus and with everything conducive to the efficiency of the Commercial Cable Company’s system.
At Hazel Hill and Waterville, the company provided living accommodations for its employees, the married men being furnished with very comfortable private cottages and the single men with bachelor quarters. There was also a mess building for single men and a clubhouse, library and entertainment hall at each of these two places.
