Beschreibung

The museum of vintage radio, located in the Martello Tower houses a fine collection of exhibits chronicling the history of telecommunications from the 1840s to date.
There are many examples of early Morse equipment, gramophones, crystal sets, valve radios and other pieces of equipment. Pat Herbert († 18th June, 2020), the curator was always happy to demonstrate some of the many working exhibits.

Fittingly, the Martello Tower has historic links with Marconi and Lee deForest, two of the fathers of wireless, who conducted early experiments from the tower in the 1900's. It was also the site of an early cable station. The Howth Martello is one of a network of towers built as lookouts for an expected Napoleonic invasion, which never materialised.

Maitiu Standun, a friend of the hurdy gurdy museum:
Theres a history attached to the building, as there are towers of this type built all around the coast of ireland. Back in the 19th century the authorities had them built within sight of each other so as they could communicate by semaphore as they were used as look outs for an expected invasion by nepolean ,the tower in howth co' dublin was later used as a cable station that was connected up to undersea telephone cables.

Marconi conducted tests from here at one stage as did Deforrest in the early stage of wireless [radio], one of the first ship to shore messages were received here in this building.
