wireless station at Point Isabel, Texas

US Navy’s wireless station at Point Isabel, Texas.

We found only a very small amount of information about the station in The Year-Book of Wireless Telegraphy & Telephone, 1918. It’s possible that the station is referenced in various books and journals in our collection, but finding these references will require in-person, in-depth research. Commercial research services are available if you are not able to conduct the research yourself.

We suggest you contact your Regional Archives which may hold records concerning the Point Isabel wireless station.
The Archives facility for the Southwest Region http://www.archives.gov/southwest/
is located in Fort Worth, Texas.

At the Archives, you may find relevant records in Record Group 181, Records of Naval Districts and Shore Establishments and possibly, Record Group 71, Records of the Bureau of Yards and Docks.

Additionally, the National Archives in Washington, DC (contact information below), the Texas State Library http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ and the Texas State Historical Association http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/ may be able to assist you with this request.
