Cette page est aussi disponible en français à http://www.facebook.com/LHNMarconi A place to discover the achievements of the "Wizard of Wireless", Guglielmo Marconi. Marconi National Historic Site of Canada commemorates Guglielmo Marconi's efforts and accomplishments in the field of wireless communication. His pioneering work revolutionized our ability to keep in touch from ship to shore and all around the world. Marconi's nature was to persevere and seek solutions. He pursued knowledge studying electricity and learning Morse Code at an early age. He possessed great manual skill in building intricate devices and set goals for his projects with single-minded intensity. These traits led him to success in his early experiments with wireless telegraphy. At the age of 20, he started experiments at home that involved sending signals without the aid of a carrying wire. In 1895, he achieved the first transmission of a signal across his makeshift laboratory. Before long he was sending signals over two kilometers. He traveled to England to find financial and technical support for his experimental work, showing his remarkable business insight and his ability to draw the best engineers and technicians to his team. On December 12, 1901, Marconi astounded the world when he received a signal at Signal Hill, Newfoundland & Labrador, transmitted from his station at Poldhu, England. The three sharp clicks for the Morse Code 's' marked the first successful transatlantic wireless signal. Now he wanted to send a message. Long-range communication was of great interest to Canada, so Marconi took up the offer of Canadian assistance to further his experimental work. He found a suitable location in Glace Bay on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, and set up a station. On December 15, 1902, the station's aerial beamed out a sequence of radio waves. In a fraction of a second, the world's first official wireless message reached a sister station near Poldhu, England. A new era of speedy communication began. * * * * * * * * * * "In 1901 Signo Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic radio message at Signal Hill in St. John's. On 15 December, 1902, he sent the first West to East message from a new station at Table Head to Poldhu, Cornwall. The station was moved in 1904, to Port Morien and linked by wireless with Clifden in Ireland. The Port Morien Station was officially opened for public use on 17 October 1907." -- Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, 1951 * * * * * * * * * *
