Massie Coherer and the Massie Station, PJ |
|
The Massie Station PJ, for Point Judith, RI, (south west of Newport) shown on left,
mainly served passenger steamboats traveling between New York City and New England cities. PJ was built by Walter Wentworth Massie who was a contemporary of Marconi's. By a fortuitous combination of circumstances PJ's 1907 building was unaltered and still contained its original equipment in working order.
PJ was moved to the New England Wireless and Steam Museum by Bob Merriam, W1NTE, and his museum crew in 1983 to avoid demolition.
