7. On the night the Titanic struck an iceberg, a network of wireless operators on ships and land stations frantically communicated with each other across the expanses of the North Atlantic in an effort to mount a rescue mission. The surviving messages form a real-time record of the events of that night. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17631595 The Carpathia was one of the ships that received the Titanic's calls for help

8. The Marconi company, the Edwardian equivalent of a top technology brand, had put its wireless operators on board some of the more prestigious ships. The Titanic, as the showcase of an ambitious, optimistic era, had the biggest and best wireless equipment in the world. It was still something of a novelty and much of the initial wireless traffic was from first class passengers sending messages to their friends, rather like text messages showing off about a glamourous trip. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17631595 Italian electrical engineer Guglielmo Marconi's equipment was on board many prestigious ships

9. SAMPLE MESSAGES PRIOR TO THE TRAGEDY "Hello Boy. Dining with you tonight in spirit, heart with you always. Best love, Girl," "No sickness. All well. Notify all interested in poker." "Fine voyage, fine ship" https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17631595

10. Wireless operators originally used Marconi's "CQD" distress signal. "CQ" was the signal to stop transmission and pay attention. The "D" was added to signal distress. In 1906 the International Radio Telegraphic Convention in Berlin created the signal "SOS" for summoning assistance. The letters were chosen for their simplicity in Morse Code - three dots, three dashes and three dots. While the "SOS" superseded "CQD" in 1908 Marconi operators rarely used it. It became standard after the sinking of the Titanic. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17631595 CQD OR SOS The Titanic's captain Edward Smith gave the orders for the distress signals to be sent out

11. Aboard the rescue ship, carpathia the wireless became the only way for survivors to contact their families. And Words cost money. "Meet me dock with two hundred dollars, underwear, cap, big coat - am well but slightly frozen," "Completely destitute, no clothes," "Safe, Bert." https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17631595 https://rmstitanichotel.co.uk/blog/rms-carpathia-and-the-titanic-glory-in-times-of-disaster/
