Phillips and Bride - The Operators of the Titanic The most famous distress traffic in history had two pairs of hands. This is the story of the Marconi room: how CQD and SOS went out together into the April night of 1912. The Marconi men Jack Phillips, senior operator, and Harold Bride, his junior, were Marconi company employees, not crew. They had spent the voyage relaying passengers' private messages - ice warnings among them - before the collision turned their key into a lifeline. Until the power failed Through the sinking they worked the rescue traffic that brought Carpathia. Bride was pulled from the sea alive; Phillips, who stayed at his post, was not. Their watch remains the defining example of the wireless operator's duty. Translate any text to Morse code, play it as sound and download the audio free at: https://morsecodeworks.com/
