The final radiotelegraph transmissions from the Titanic. This recording is in all likelihood a simulation, but its exact origin is not known. It is notable for the authentic-sounding rotary spark gap tone and also for the code speed-- rather quick for a hand key! A video of the keying waveform is provided for further analysis.

The 2nd Officer tries to rally the fleeing skipper of a sinking ship as he embarrasingly rushes into the first lifeboat.... - What are you doing Captain??? You can't abandon the ship like that - there's plenty of women aboard yet!! - I see... but no time for "that" now Perkins, I'm getting the f*ck outta here NOW!!!!
During the sinking of RMS Titanic in 1912, its radio operator Jack Phillips initially sent "CQD", still commonly used by British ships. Harold Bride, the junior radio operator, jokingly suggested the new code "SOS" be used, thinking it might be the only time he would get to use it; Phillips began to alternate.
Aside from the zippy fast way they've done it; is the sound basically accurate?
I'm dying to know how it would've actually sounded for the people listening from other ships. I've heard a lot of different versions and frankly I dunno who to believe.

"This is Titanic. Calling all stations, distress. Save Our Ship. Calling all stations, distress. "
