eHam.net News – EASTHAM — The Cape Cod National Seashore will host two events commemorating wireless communication and the role it played to rescue survivors from the sinking of the Titanic. Wireless messages sent from the Marconi station in Wellfleet on April 14, 1912 to the Titanic were also received by the ship Carpathia. The Carpathia rescued 740 people after its operator relayed those messages to the Titanic, which responded that it was sinking. On Saturday, April 14, a Titanic Memorial Event will honor the 1,500 people lost. The Titanic/Marconi Memorial Association of Cape Cod, WIMGY, will host a global wireless radio event that honors those lost and to tell stories of ship-to-shore wireless communication. The event is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Nauset Coast Guard Station at Coast Guard Beach in Eastham.
