On a windswept bluff in Wellfleet on Cape Cod, the Marconi Station marks the spot where Guglielmo Marconi sent the first wireless message between the United States and England in 1903. A greeting from President Theodore Roosevelt to King Edward VII traveled across the ocean without a single cable, changing global communication forever. Most of the original station has been lost to the sea, but the site is part of Cape Cod National Seashore and still offers sweeping Atlantic views. Our audio tour shares the story of the pioneering technology and the people behind it.
