About this Book

On December 12, 1901, from Signal Hill, St. John’s, Newfoundland, Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic radio signal. This is the story of that remarkable event.

Review Quotes

"As you might expect, Marconi's Miracle provides details of his background and accomplishments. But the book also weaves an interesting tale about Newfoundland's role in the fledgling telegraph industry and the construction of trans-Atlantic telegraph cables."

Antique Radio Classified

"What makes Marconi's Miracle important is Tarrant's depiction of the events that drove Marconi out of Newfoundland immediately following the December 12th success."
