The Myrick Wireless Interpretation Centre

The Myrick Wireless Interpretation Centre at Cape Race is a replica of the original Marconi Marine Radio Station built at the same location in 1904 at the invitation of the Canadian Government. It is named for the Myrick family who lived and worked at Cape Race from 1874 to 2007, serving as light keepers, fog alarm operators, telegraphers, and wireless operators.

The sinking of the Titanic is one of the most memorable moments in Cape Race history. The Marconi station at the Cape was the first land station to answer Titanic’s distress call and helped to coordinate the rescue effort.
