Great White Fleet Wireless Telephone

Yesterday I learned about how the first use of the wireless telephone. This was aboard the ships of the Great White Fleet. They used this technology to communicate not only between ships, but also with the shore stations. Dr. Deforest invited this technology in late 1907. At this time wireless phones only had a 75 mile range. After the Great White Fleets trip was over, they got rid of the wireless phone because it was very unreliable.
