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.
