Earl Blackney will be speaking about the Otter Cliffs Radio Station in Bar Harbor in 1916.

As a pioneering fixture in the early 20th century, the Otter Cliffs Radio Station stood as a testament to the burgeoning era of wireless communication. Situated along the rugged coast of Maine, the station played a crucial role in transatlantic communication, bridging the gap between continents and facilitating messages that spanned the vast ocean. Its strategic location and advanced technology made it a beacon of progress and innovation, contributing significantly to maritime safety and the global exchange of information. The station’s historical significance and the dedication of those who operated it remain a proud chapter in the annals of communication history.
