In 1903, Marconi used the broadcast station depicted in this model to transmit a message across the Atlantic. It made history and opened a new era for broadcast communication.
Today, this is all that’s left of the station. It’s from one of the towers—one of the towers farthest from the ocean. The rest was lost to erosion.
Even though the visit here was kind of a yawn for the kids, it’s a tradition for me to stop by the Marconi site when I come to the Cape.
