No. Records show that the SOS call was used at least as early as 10 June 1909, by the Cunard liner SS Slavonia.

Originally, the wireless signal for a ship in distress was cqd, but in 1908 a new signal, SOS, was introduced since the combination of three dots, three dashes, and three dots could be easily recognized by even the greenest amateur.
