What is the titanic SOS message?
CQD was the call for distress initially used by the Titanic in 1912, introduced in 1904 by the Morse International Marine Communication Company. This earlier wireless distress call was meant as 'All Stations: Distress'. Adopted in 1906, the more easily transmitted 'SOS' was in parallel use at the time of the disaster. 'SOS' is the Morse code international distress signal. It doesn't actually mean anything but is simply a combination of two easily distinguishable letters: 'S' (...) and 'O' (---). The letters were chosen because of the ease of transmission and the distinctive sound of the repetition which is easily recognized in any language.
What was the last message given from the Titanic before sinking?
S O SJohn G. Phillips, was the Chief Marconi operator who sent the final distress message from the ill-fated Titanic. The message was transmitted with a spark transmitter and it included the new "SOS" signal, as well as the more conventional "CQD" signal. The actual message was "CQD CQD SOS SOS CQD DE MGY MGY", MGY being the call sign of the Titanic. The worst aspect of the disaster was the fact the California was sitting only ten miles away and capable of rescuing all the passengers. Besides the futile radio messages the crew of the Titanic fired rockets for two hours trying to get her attention, but the officers on duty aboard the California never understood the reason for the rockets. Only when the radio operator went back on duty did the California learn the news from other rescue ships about the Titanic. Another ship, the Carpathia, was 58 miles away when she received the Titanic SOS.
