Massie Wireless Station
Massie Wireless Station, Wireless telegraph station in Point Judith, Rhode Island, United States
The Massie Wireless Station features a two-kilowatt spark-gap transmitter connected to a 300-foot antenna tower for maritime communications along the Atlantic coast.
Built in 1907 as an upgrade to earlier wireless facilities, the station monitored emergency communications during the RMS Titanic disaster in April 1912.
The station represents early twentieth-century maritime radio technology and now operates as part of the New England Wireless and Steam Museum collection.
The station maintains its original equipment, including the pump handle key, Massie Resonaphone tuner, and operator call box on the original operating table.
Engineers restored the station's spark transmitter to working condition at 350 KHz frequency, making it one of the oldest functional wireless transmitters globally.
