“A Whisper Across the Atlantic: Marconi’s First Radio Signal (1901)
On December 12, 1901, Guglielmo Marconi and his team received a faint, three-tap “S” in Morse code — a wireless signal sent from Cornwall, England and picked up in St. John’s, Newfoundland. It was a fragile sound with enormous consequences: proof that radio waves could span the Atlantic, shrinking the world in a way steamships never could.
In an era of undersea telegraph cables, this felt almost supernatural: messages leaping over an ocean without a wire to carry them. The technology would evolve fast — from ship-to-shore safety to broadcasting, aviation, and eventually the invisible infrastructure of modern life.
