"Hi, visitor, you are so cool!"

in Morse Code.
 

 
Samuel Finley Breese Morse was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, on April 27, 1791. Educated at Phillips Academy and then at Yale College, he went on to study painting in England. Upon his return from Europe, he taught as a professor at the New York University, became a well-known artist, and founded the National Academy of Design. A painting by Morse, "Congress Hall," can be seen here. 

It was, however, as the inventor of telegraph, and more specifically, the Morse Code, that Samuel FB Morse was to be remembered by most people. Morse developed an early interest in electricity when he was still in college. Later, while returning from Europe on the steamship Sully he came up with the idea of electromagnetic telegraph. In the coming years he devoted much time and energy to the project. After numerous setbacks and repeated disappointment, in 1843 he successfully persuaded the U.S. Congress to grant him $30,000 to set up a telegraph line between Washington D.C. and Baltimore. The connection was finished in mid-1844, and on May 24, Morse sent the first telegraphic message: "What hath God wrought?"

Morse's success with telegraph made him rich, and his system of coding words with combinations of dots and dashes, the Morse Code, made him famous worldwide. In his late years he lived comfortably at Locust Grove that overlooks the Hudson River. He married twice, the second time taking as his bride a 26-year-old cousin who was considerably deaf and dumb.

He died in 1872, at the age of 81.
