Marconi was offered free passage on Titanic before she sank, but had taken Lusitania three days earlier. As his daughter Degna later explained, he had paperwork to do and preferred the public stenographer aboard that vessel.
What was Marconi's first name?
Guglielmo Giovanni Maria Marconi
Guglielmo Marconi: an Italian inventor, proved the feasibility of radio communication. He sent and received his first radio signal in Italy in 1895. By 1899 he flashed the first wireless signal across the English Channel and two years later received the letter "S", telegraphed from England to Newfoundland.
Marconi developed a means of transmitting a signal great distances and eventually commercialized a practical system. The signal was sent with a frequency of roughly 500 kilohertz (kHz) and a power boost far greater than had ever been used on a radio signal.
Regardless of who created the very first radio, on December 12, 1901, Marconi's place in history was forever sealed when he became the first person to transmit signals across the Atlantic Ocean. Prior to the 1920s, the radio was primarily used to contact ships that were out at sea.
Tesla was very good at getting press coverage for his work, but Marconi came along and captured all the glory and credit before Tesla realized what was going on. Tesla actually invented the idea of radio in 1892 — not too long after Heinrich Hertz demonstrated UHF spark wireless transmissions in Germany in 1885.
Tesla died in 1943 and six months after his death the US Supreme Court ruled that all of Marconi's radio patents were invalid and awarded the patents for radio to Tesla. So, for the past 64 years, we still believe that Marconi invented radio. Few actually know of Tesla's radio inventions.
…the Italian physicist and inventor Guglielmo Marconi to develop long-range radio. Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian physicist and inventor, established wireless communications across the Atlantic employing radio waves of approximately 300- to 3,000-metre wavelength in 1901.

From there, radio evolved into a steadfast means of communication for pilots, ship captains, truck drivers, law enforcement, emergency services and many more. Yes, radio changed the world in many ways — almost too many to count — the most important being the rapid sharing of information.
The full technological potential of radio was made manifest on Christmas Eve 1906. Its potential as a form of mass communication did not become evident until much later. Radio had been invented by Guglielmo Marconi in 1895 as "wireless telegraphy" -- a means for sending Morse code through the air. But on Dec.
The program on Christmas Eve began with Handel's “Largo,” played on a phonograph. Next, Fessenden played “O, Holy Night,” on his violin. The first words ever spoken on the radio were from Luke 2:14,” Glory to God in the highest on earth peace, goodwill toward men.”
Guglielmo Marconi succeeds
Italian inventor and engineer Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937) developed, demonstrated and marketed the first successful long-distance wireless telegraph and in 1901 broadcast the first transatlantic radio signal. In 1909 he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for his radio work.
In a manual system, the sending operator manipulates a switch called a telegraph key which turns the transmitter on and off, producing the pulses of radio waves. At the receiver, the pulses are audible in the receiver's speaker as beeps, which are translated back to text by an operator who knows Morse code.
Guglielmo Marconi (April 25, 1874—July 20, 1937) was an Italian inventor and electrical engineer known for his pioneering work on long-distance radio transmission, including the development of the first successful long-distance wireless telegraph in 1894 and the broadcast of the first transatlantic radio signal in 1901

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1909 was awarded jointly to Guglielmo Marconi and Karl Ferdinand Braun "in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy."
The first wireless telephone conversation occurred in 1880, when Alexander Graham Bell and Charles Sumner Tainter invented the photophone, a telephone that sent audio over a beam of light. The photophone required sunlight to operate, and a clear line of sight between transmitter and receiver.
