Marconi Wireless Station Site, Telecommunications building in Wellfleet, United States.

The Marconi Wireless Station complex included four wooden towers with antenna arrays powered by kerosene engines for signal transmission across the Atlantic Ocean.

In January 1903, this station achieved the first successful transatlantic wireless communication between the United States and Europe, marking a milestone in telecommunications.

The station played an essential role during the Titanic disaster in 1912 by relaying signals to RMS Carpathia, leading to the rescue of passengers.

Due to coastal erosion and safety concerns, the original structures no longer exist at the site, which received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1975.

The station utilized a spark gap transmitter with 75 kilowatts power output to establish communication across vast oceanic distances in the early 1900s.
