    From Irish Tourism .com: Marconi Wireless built a radio station beside the tower in 1910.

    Interesting to see the man with the telescope on the tripod. I'm used to seeing a section in newspapers of this period (and much earlier) entitled 'Shipping Intelligence' . As well as news of arrivals and departures there are entries such as (Morning Post, London, April 2nd 1885)
    MALIN HEAD: April 1 - The Anchor Line Circassia , from New York for The Clyde, passed
    Presumably it was this man who spotted passing ships and passed the news to Lloyds of London, who supplied the information to newspapers.
