Clifden, County Galway

View of the seafront of the town of Clifden, County Galway. Clifden, the Capital of Connemara, is situated on the coast of County Galway, Ireland.
It was just outside Clifden that Marconi built his first high power transatlantic long wave wireless telegraphy station in the early 1900s (so just after this picture was made) for transmissions aimed at its other station in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.
