OHIO HISTORICAL MARKER FIRST SHIP-TO-SHORE RADIO BROADCAST On July 1, 1907, Dr. Lee deForest broadcast the first ship-to-shore radio message from the steam yacht Thelma. The communication provided quick, accurate race results of the Annual Inter-Lakes Yachting Association (I-LYA) Regatta. Frank Butler, a Monroeville, Ohio native and assistant to deForest, was stationed in the pavilion at Fox's Dock (today where the Jet Express Dock stands) and received the radio transmission. The creation of the vacuum tube by deForest permitted the rapid development of radio and eventually television. The inventor disliked the existing term "wireless" and instead chose a new moniker -- "radio". On this site wireless-transmission radio broadcasting was born.
