[ 46 ] Marconi Wireless Station Site



Marconi’s first Transatlantic Wireless telegraph receiver, a circular antenna constructed in 1901 of twenty ship’s masts, tumbled into the sea after a terrible winter storm. Successfully rebuilt the following year, that construction also has fallen into the sea as the dunes continue to erode.
