Just across the Old King's Highway is an old cemetery. Behind that, the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp, with a raised trail. And across Cape Cod, only a little over a mile at this narrow point, is the Atlantic shoreline. Marconi set up the first transatlantic wireless telegraph station here in 1901-02. Theodore Roosevelt used it to exchange pleasantries with His Magesty Edward VII. It has collapsed, and the sea has taken a lot of it back. But it was a good place to observe the rise of the blue moon, the second full moon of the month.
