On December 15, 1902 Guglielmo Marconi established trans-Atlantic communication between Table Head in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia and Poldhu in Cornwall, England using a 60 kilowatt transmitter and four 210-foot (64 m) towers. The site of the Marconi Towers Station is now used to house a museum, the Marconi National Historic Site.[1]
