I used to work in a warehouse when I was a youth. Also working there was an old man who was our cleaner. Nobody used to pay him respect because he was old and a cleaner. People just ignored him. One time I sat down with him at dinner and got to know him. He was a morse operator in WW2. I started looking at him differently after that. The speed at which those operators work is mind boggling, and I have nothing but respect for those who have done it. From that point on I looked up to him.
I think the Nokia is "S M S" three separate letters separated by spaces. SOS is one continuous sound with the S, O and S all run together and no character spaces between them. Very different sounding.
@AF2Z Im an idiot.. You are correct my friend, I mixed myself up something ridiculous there. Must not write thing without thinking them through. Iv embarrassed myself enough for one day. What program is that made on anyway? Its not a music making tool is it?
It's kinda creepy and sad that it might have been the |last| thing we ever heard when the ship didn't sank or was sinking...
I think Ima thank the Carpatia to have responded to the Titanic and helped... It was said, I'm not sure though, that there were OTHER SHIPS AROUND the TITANIC when it sank! None responded and helped because they were scared of icebergs around! I'm like... Have a heart... PEOPLE WERE F-cking going to DIE! >:(
@AF2Z YUP you are right they used both they used cqd first and then sos have you read TITANIC THE SHIP THAT NEVER SANK by ROBIN GARDINER and his latest book conspiracy on the titanic these ships titanic and Olympic were switched for assurance scam at highest level .THE owner of ship JP MORGAN even took his possessions of ship day before she sailed and British Government its gold was also taken of and is still missing to date
Yes, the Titanic used both "S.O.S" and "C.Q.D" because the senior wireless operator, 25 year old John George "Jack" Phillips, was sinding the "C.Q.D" signal, but while in the process, his assitant operator, 22 year old Harold Sydney Bride, told him to "Send S.O.S, it's the new call, and it may be your last chance to send it!" Harold said jokely. Oh and by the way, Jack Phillips sent this distress call. Sadly, Phillips died but Bride lived. Google their names for more info on how they died.
@dingleberrycherry Um actually It had been used at least once before the Titanic disaster, on a Cunard Liner named Slavonia in 1909 and again on the SS Arapahoe that same year. Titanic is just the most well known example of the use of SOS. As to how I know this, well sometimes it pays to surf Wikipedia aimlessly :)
@akirafurios Actually before Titanic was " June 10, 1909--Cunard liner Slavonia wrecked off the Azores. Two steamers received her "S. O. S," the international call that succeeded "C. Q. D." and went to her rescue." According to "Notable Achievements of Wireless (1910)"
This does sound like rotary spark gap. The pacing is fast- that is a characteristic of a "spark gap fist". Even if it isn't original, ie: the "actual" distress call; it is a really good example of what a then-nearly 100 year old form of communication sent over early radio transmission capabilities might have sounded like. Thanks for posting this, and 73!!
As far as the question of the spped seeming too fast, I've listened to many other authentic morse code transmissions and the hand speed is normal. Remember, the people that worked the code deliberatly trained themself to work, translate, and reply that quickly, because at any time it could be a matter of life and death.
I'd still check it by experts, but I think it's entirely possible this is the acttual recording.

How fucked up is that, you're sinking and all you can do to help yourself is hope someone hears the clicks your making with a damn telegraph. Poor guys/women.
I was sitting at my radio position,Perth, Western Australia, 1978, an R.A.A.F. errr...'facility', about 3 Am, yeah, 'Dogwatch' , listening out, (QAP), absolutely nothing heard, (ZAN), boring as batshit.
4-plus hours hours of NOISE.
Then, Dit-Dit-Dit/Dah-Dah-Dah/Dit-Dit-Dit!, and callsign....I near shit!.
Did a 'D/F". Found 'em.
End of story,.. light plane down in the centre of Australia, no injuries, no water, off course, no one knew their posn.

Where ever that was recorded from, if in fact it is the last transmission from RMS Titanic, was bloody close, or the signal RMS Titanic pumped out was pretty strong. I am no expert when it comes to SGT's, but it does sound like it is a rotary spark gap transmitter, and I would say it is hand keyed, there are slight variations in key length, which suggests it is not a computer simulation. The speed at which it is keyed would be a rare skill today. Morse is unfortunately a dieing art.
Umm, not really sure what you mean there, I have formed my own opinion, that was what I posted. I will have a look at carpathia though. Might be interesting.
Well, it does say SIMULATED transmission. There are records of exactly what was sent and that is the sound of a spark transmitter such as the titanic used.
But I have to admit that i question the transmissions legitimacy.
There have been absolutely no verifiable historical records, known to me that is, that speaks about any radio message from the "RMS Titanic" ever being recorded.
Gives you the idea, but not a spark transmitter which is what was on board. Receivers of the day had no selectivity, ability to separate stations, to speak of. Many times stations would be on top of each other, it took operator skill to separate the racket. A CQD or SOS when heard should have cleared all traffic that might interfere, but didn't in this case. The range was short also, necessitating a lot of shore stations. After this event, rules changed on distress signal operation.
I have been a Titanic historian for many years and there is documented proof that Titanic did indeed use the S.O.S signal. At the Time the signal was used it was still believed the Titanic would not sink by the operators so Bride and Phillips joked with the captain that it "might be the last time we would have the chance" The Captain however knew what the situation was and willing to try anything allowed it. Between 12 and 1am the Titanic became the first ship to use it but the "C" heard CQD.
titnic used CQD not SOS as CQD was the marconi emergency code. the message could not have been SOS because the SOS standard had just been introduced and marconi employees had been trained with CQD.
transcripts available on the internet show that the message would have been
This is interesting. I read that both signals were used. First CDQ, then later on SOS at the direction of Captian Smith. I am not sure which signal the Carpathia rec'd, though.
@shriramvenu Actually Titanic used SOS. Harold Bride proposed Phillips to use that code, it could be probably the last time he has possibility to do it.
@patriautism thanks man. but hey, that means the "Special" message alert tone heard in older Nokia phones are actually SOS codes, and that Nokia just omitted the 3rd "dash" beep so as to not mistake it as an SOS signal? clever...
@N6600 The Nokia ShortMessageService alert tone actually are the letters S M S in morse code. They did leave out the 3rd dash simply because the letter M is two dashes (dah's). The letter O indeed is three dashes (dah's). Guess three times (dots) what's the letter S ;-)
This sounds like genuine vintage spark gap... weird... is that what they used on the ship? Wasn't morse code around for some time when the Titanic sank? Spark gap is really.... how do I say this... outdated at this point in time correct?
@iBook3503332 no it was one of the first distress codes before SOS it means CQ All Stations and D for distress. Even these days when there is a poor radio reception you can use Delta Echo for This is and Charlie Quebec for Hello all stations.

I'm not sure how accurate this is but on a website I found these were the meanings of the codes:
DE - "This is"
MGY - "Titanic"
CQD - "Calling all vessels"
SOS - "Save Our Souls"
So the entire message reads - "This is Titanic, calling all ships, save our souls, calling all ships..."

The distress calls from the Titanic were never recorded, it was not possible.
In this case,- NO!, I emphasise,- NO!,- recording apparatus was in place, on ANY ocean going vessel of the day.
Recording apparatus DID exist, in a stable, studio environment.
A 'record', (a bakelite disk), was used to record what a person said, into a voice 'tube', it looked like a funnel connected to the device.
Never on Titanic.

For instance, in Commonwealth Forces, 'QDM', in WW11 equated to 'My position is".../My bearing....(What is...),.
It does not exist today.
Similarly, the Phonetic code changed and evolved.
Today, for instance, 'B' is known as 'Bravo', whereas, back then it was...B-( any takers?),.....
Get my drift?.
Nothing is writ in stone.
There were 'Q' codes, but not

Gives you the idea, but not a spark transmitter which is what was on board. Receivers of the day had no selectivity, ability to separate stations, to speak of. Many times stations would be on top of each other, it took operator skill to separate the racket. A CQD or SOS when heard should have cleared all traffic that might interfere, but didn't in this case. The range was short also, necessitating a lot of shore stations. After this event, rules changed on distress signal operation.

I have been a Titanic historian for many years and there is documented proof that Titanic did indeed use the S.O.S signal. At the Time the signal was used it was still believed the Titanic would not sink by the operators so Bride and Phillips joked with the captain that it "might be the last time we would have the chance" The Captain however knew what the situation was and willing to try anything allowed it. Between 12 and 1am the Titanic became the first ship to use it but the "C" heard CQD.

How on earth could you cope listening to this all day as part of your job ?
Great to see this clip. Still many people not aware RMS Titanic was built in the Harland and Wolff Shipyard in Belfast.

titnic used CQD not SOS as CQD was the marconi emergency code. the message could not have been SOS because the SOS standard had just been introduced and marconi employees had been trained with CQD.
transcripts available on the internet show that the message would have been
CQD CQD DE MGY position 44...CQD

This is interesting. I read that both signals were used. First CDQ, then later on SOS at the direction of Captian Smith. I am not sure which signal the Carpathia rec'd, though.

@shriramvenu Actually Titanic used SOS. Harold Bride proposed Phillips to use that code, it could be probably the last time he has possibility to do it.

so DE MGY CQD SOS CQD means
"This is Titanic. Calling all stations, distress. Save Our Ship. Calling all stations, distress. "

@patriautism Oh. Interesting fact.
oldblubblub 1 year ago
@patriautism thanks man. but hey, that means the "Special" message alert tone heard in older Nokia phones are actually SOS codes, and that Nokia just omitted the 3rd "dash" beep so as to not mistake it as an SOS signal? clever...
N6600 1 year ago
@N6600 The Nokia ShortMessageService alert tone actually are the letters S M S in morse code. They did leave out the 3rd dash simply because the letter M is two dashes (dah's). The letter O indeed is three dashes (dah's). Guess three times (dots) what's the letter S ;-)

This sounds like genuine vintage spark gap... weird... is that what they used on the ship? Wasn't morse code around for some time when the Titanic sank? Spark gap is really.... how do I say this... outdated at this point in time correct?

@iBook3503332 no it was one of the first distress codes before SOS it means CQ All Stations and D for distress. Even these days when there is a poor radio reception you can use Delta Echo for This is and Charlie Quebec for Hello all stations.
