Visited the site of the Marconi Station Site in Wellfleet, site of the first United States Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph Station, which transmitted the first wireless telegraph across the Atlantic in 1903.

There isn't much physical evidence left at the site, as eroding cliffs have claimed two of the original four transmission towers, and of the other two little remains but brick, concrete and rusting chains.

Afterwards took a one and half mile walk in White Cedar Swamp, just behind the site.
