  I just worked out that Marconi's first wife was my Irish maternal great-grandmother's half-sister. Tuning in with interest! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guglielmo_Marconi www.thepeerage.com/p48399.htm#i483987

  beachcomber australia interesting, do tell more.

  National Library of Ireland on The Commons Marconi's first wife Beatrice, www.thepeerage.com/p48399.htm#i483985 , was the daughter of www.thepeerage.com/p1795.htm#i17941 , whose first child by his first wife was my great-grandmother, www.thepeerage.com/p28200.htm#i281999. It's complicated - they all seem to have married several times!

  This is a contemporary description of the station: The Clifden Station of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph System, from Scientific American, 23 November 1907.

  beachcomber australia Got it, you have a very interesting family tree. Marconi's Mother was also Irish!

  Looks rather small for a transatlantic vessel from that time. Beam can't be more than eight or ten feet. Given the sailing mast, they didn't have complete confidence in the powerplant I guess.
