The Chatham Marconi maritime center has a long history on Cape Cod. The campus was built in 1914 for the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of America but was never put in operation because of WW1. The station was purchased in 1919 by RCA and began ship-to-shore operations in 1921. During WW2, the US Navy took control of the station to intercept communiques from German u-boats to German High Command. The Chatham Marconi maritime center is now home to the Marconi-RCA Wireless Museum and Education Center. For more information, see our website: www.chathammarconi.org .
