MORSE CODE
1. Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1791-1872), a portrait painter
turned inventor, didn’t actually invent the telegraph (many
other men worked on the idea before him), but he did perfect
it after 12 years of effort. He transmitted the famous mes-
sage. «What hath God wrought?» from Washington to Bos-
ton in 1844.
2. The first message in Morse code was tapped out in the
United States over a telegraph linе from Baltimore to Wash-
ington by Samuel Morse in 1844.
3. Morse is often credited with the invention of the telegraph
on his return to the United States from a trip to Europe in
1832. During this trip lie became acquainted with the works
of Michael Faraday on electro-magnetism, which forms the
basis of the telegraph. This gave Morse the necessary impe-
tus to go ahead with his work.
4. In 1837 Morse exhibited his first truly successful instrument.
By 1838 he had developed the Morse code, an alphabet
which consists of dots and dashes representing letters and
numbers. In the same year he attempted unsuccessfully to
persuade Congress to build a telegraph line.
5. It was not until 1843 that Congress voted to pay Morse to
built the first telegraph line in the United States from Balti-
more to Washington.
6. Later, Morse was caught in a mass of legal claims among
his telegraph partners and rival inventors. He was probably
the most successful propogator of the telegraph, although
there were many pioneers m the same field long before him.
He also introduced the Jaguerreotype, an early form of pho-
tography, to America.
