Practical Marine Telephone Breaks Distance Barriers
An English coastal experiment by the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance company links a lightship near the Naze with Walton-on-the-Naze via telephone. Operators hear weather, ship movements, and signals from the Sunk lightship ten miles away, enabling shore-based forecasters and merchants to time arrivals, coordinate cargo landings, and boost commercial efficiency.
