This station, which Marconi had built in South Wellfleet, Massachusetts, a small community neighbouring Cape Cod, was destroyed in a windstorm. It forced Marconi to find a new location for his transatlantic trial. In 1903, a new station was built in South Wellfleet. It sent the first transatlantic signal between the United States and Europe.
