Der kombinierte Fracht- und Passagierdampfer "Hamburg" der HAPAG wurde im Sommer 1906 mit einer Marconi-Funkanlage ausgerüstet. Die Anlage wurde von Funkern die bei der Marconi- Gesellschaft angestellt waren, bedient. Das 1899 für den Postdienst nach Ostasien beim Stettiner Vulcan gebaute Schiff machte im Herbst 1906 eine Reise mit mehreren Hundert Passagieren vom Mittelmeer nach New York. Waehrend der Reise erstellten die Marconi-Funker acht Ausgaben der Hapag-Bordzeitung "The Atlantic Daily News". Diese Zeitung bestand aus zwei oder drei Seiten Werbung und einigen Seiten mit Witzen und leichter Lektüre. Die erste Seite war jedoch mit Nachrichten aufgemacht, die täglich von Küsten- funkstellen der Marconi- Gesellschaft im Morsecode verbreitet wurden.
Die Nachrichten für die ersten 6 Ausgaben dieser Reise wurden von der Küstenfunkstelle Poldhu in England aufgenommen, fuer die zwei weiteren Ausgaben kamen die Meldungen von der Marconistation bei Cape Cod Mass.
Hier sind die Nachrichten der ersten Seite der "The Atlantic Daily News" vom 29. Oktober 1906, aufgenommen von Polhu sowie vom 7. November 1906, dem letzten Reisetag, aufgenommen von Cape Cod:
