The Titanic Trail in Manhattan-- Part 3

WHITE STAR OFFICE: 9 Broadway across from Bowling Green. Thousands gathered here when news of the disaster arrived. It came by wireless telegraph. //// JOHN WANAMAKER DEPARTMENT STORE: 8th Street and Broadway. Marconi had a wireless station there. David Sarnoff was the manager and on duty when the wireless message arrived. He stayed at his station for 72 straight hours. He eventually went on to become president of Radio Corporation of America, RCA. (And I always thought the "R" stood for Record.) -- More to Come. --Cooter
