Titanic Text Messages - A Streaming Log of Distress Transmissions
[***UPDATE*** The audio from 00:53 to 01:40 is incorrect. I accidentally added the wrong sound file to this section of the video. My apologies!]
I've taken all the Morse code communications I could find from the night of the Titanic disaster and turned it into streaming text. It's painfully slow by today's standards of communications as it presents at about the speed the transmissions were made that night. I've removed the "dead air" time cutting the total time from about two hours to one.
Morse code abbreviations have been included in the audio but the text is in English, for example the ship's ID code "MGY" will be heard but "TITANIC" will be read. "OM" will be heard but "OLD MAN" (meaning "buddy" or "friend") will be in the text.
I've left the code "CQD" as it's very prominent and important. This was the common international distress signal at the time and stood for "ATTENTION ALL STATIONS" (CQ) "DISTRESS" (D). Titanic was not the first to transmit an SOS but she used it also. They primarily used CQD because that was the most recognized distress signal of the time.
The log starts as the Titanic is transmitting personal telegrams for customers which are interrupted by the distress signal. It continues until the last message is transmitted. I've tried to make it as historically accurate as possible but I'm not a historian, just a Joe.
