Description | The New England Wireless and Steam Museum is an electrical and mechanical engineering museum with working steam engines and an early wireless station and technology archives. The New England Wireless and Steam Museum consists of five buildings as shown in the 1st image above. The red building on the left houses the wireless collection. The Wireless Building shows the span of electric communication from telegraph to TV. It features keys, sounders, crystal sets, tubes, microphones, ocean cable instruments, spark transmitters, detectors, an 1881 Dolbear receiver, an 1899 Marconi coherer, and a jigger and spark set exactly like the one used to call for help on the Titanic in 1912. Wireless communication began about 1900. The first application was marine communications and this called for wireless telegraph stations on the shore. PJ is an excellent example of the earliest coast stations. It is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1875 Rhode Island was the world center of the stationary steam industry. According to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) the New England Wireless and Steam Museum has the finest collection of Rhode Island made engines, together with the finest collection of original stationary steam engine drawings.
