wireless message

Hello to you all, I stumbled upon a marconigram on the (now defunct) site marconicalling.com. Its description on the website reads : "This message was sent from the Carpathia to London, by 'Elbis' whom, it is assumed was a survivor from the Titanic, and was rescued by the ship, Parisian...

Hi everyone! Could you please help me to find a higher quality digital copy of the famous Baltic's wireless message from April 14th (that is, the record of it)? "Captain Smith, 'Titanic.' - Have had moderate, variable winds and clear, fine weather since leaving. Greek steamer 'Athenai' reports...

I've been plugging away for the past 2+ years researching the Titanic's sinking. I have come across two messages from the SS Mesaba sent on April 14, 1912, at 7:50 p.m. One is prefixed "Ice Warning," and the other is prefixed "SG." This is the one prefixed "Ice Warning." This one has the "SG"...

In the book "Titanic Calling Wireless Communications During the Great Disaster" on page 158, there is a list of the Marconi Radio Codes. In almost all cases, there is one radio code for each meaning. The one exception on the list is for Master's Service Message, which can be coded as either SG...

Hi everyone, I'm on a mission to make as comprehensive a table as possible of all Marconigrams sent to and from Titanic. This, where possible, includes time sent/received in Titanic time, but I've ran into trouble with those sent from Cape Cod. I cannot for the life of me decipher what the...

What time did the Marconi set breakdown and when did Phillips and Bride get it going again?

I'm a new member and maybe just haven't figured out how to best use this (incredible) site. I'm writing a manuscript for a children's book. I have found multiple sources that sort of interpret the radio calls to/from the Titanic. However, I need to find a reliable source stating the actual...

It is well known that at 11:07 on Sunday 14th April 1912, Cyril Evans, the wireless operator of the Californian sent the following message to the Titanic: “MGY this is MWL. We are stopped and surrounded by ice.” Phillips on Titanic was busy working Cape Race (MCE) at the time, and told Evans...

Just before Jack Phillips sent the first CQD, he sent a personal message addressed to “Harrison Sanford, New York” and signed “Girl”. Is it known with whom this message originated? I’m guessing it would be a first class passenger since I imagine wireless messages were an extravagance that few...

Is there any record of the early wireless messages that Phillips or Bride might have transmitted or received on the 10th and/or 11th April 1912? In fact, what were they doing during the passage from Southampton via Cherbourg to Queenstown? The only bit of related information I have seen is...

We have learned that on board the Titanic (as perhaps with other ships of the period), many passengers, probably mostly American businessmen in First Class, sent out private telegrams from Saturday night onwards. I am interested in knowing what the regulations and financial implications (to the...

So, if I'm a passenger, I can send a telegraph message via the wireless office. How do I do that? Do I enter the officer's quarters on the boat deck and go to the Marconi office, is there a basket or a window I can slip my message through? Can I just ask a steward or purser to relay my...

Probably a silly question but I find it difficult to get my head round how the ship radio actually worked. I haven’t seen any reference to a ticker tape being used for receiving messages. It is quoted that Phillips could send 39 words a minute!!! This would not be much use if the receiver wasn’t...

Did the wireless officers ever send any speed updates or messages about getting to New York early over the wireless?

I have a couple of extra copies of the first edition of the "Titanic Commutator" (1963) under the original guise titled "The Marconigram" (the Marconi Company objected and the title was changed to the current "Titanic Commutator"). These are printed in a newspaper format, and were two pages...

Urgh I am work without my notes and am desperately trying to remember what happened to the wireless from the Amerika can anyone help before I drive myself crazy with this (Am actually very ashamed I cannot remember lol)

I have heard that the Captain received six warnings before the collision. Is this true? Arnold Rye

Dear All, Maybe I'm just late or slack but the URL below to the Marconi archive site is a new one to me. There are many, many messages to & from Titanic's people that I've never heard of and certainly never seen. The page allows you to view images of the actual messages and print them. Apart...

Thought this would be of interest. I can't take credit for finding it; this was posted on another list by Glenn Dunstan. I do hope I'm not repeating something already seen here. If this has already been posted, I apologize. There is now a Marconi website. It's located here...
