Events
- In early 1912, there were two major companies which provided wireless telegraph equipment and operators for ships at sea: The Marconi Company in New York City and Telefunken in Germany.[1] Ship radio operators were not ship's crew, but employees of Marconi or Telefunken.
- At the time of the Titanic, Marconi operators did not talk to Telefunken operators, or vice versa, for fear of losing their jobs.[1]
- April 14/15 - The R.M.S. "Titanic", having struck an iceberg at 11:40 p.m., begins sending the new international distress signal S.O.S., as well as the older Marconi distress code, C.Q.D..
