Morse code used to be essential for ships at sea. Not anymore, though. On June 30, 1997, the last Morse code station was shut down. It was never actually turned off, though, and it is still operated by volunteers, at least as of a year ago. It's located at Pint Reyes, in northern California. I saw a video about it on YouTube last night. Lots of info below.

drive by it regularly, hard to see the building from the road, but easy to see the antenna system stretching from pole to pole

Yes, there's that long, tree-lined road.
