SOUTH WELLFLEET, 9.5 m. (alt. 26), is a small village.
1. Right 0.8 m. from the village on a hard sand road are concrete foundations, the mass of rotting timbers, and half-buried cables that are the Remains of the First Transatlantic Wireless Station in the United States, which was put into operation
by Marconi, Jan. 19, 1901. This point offers one of the finest views of the outer
shore of the of the Cape.
