EDITORS COMMENTS
In the early hours of April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic, a symbol of modern marvel and luxury, found itself in a dire predicament. Five minutes after striking an iceberg, the ship sent out a desperate SOS (Save Our Souls) message to any nearby vessel that could come to their assistance. This hand-written message, now a haunting relic of maritime history, was received by the Russian steamer Birma. The message, penned with urgency, read "CQD - SOS from M.G.Y. We have struck iceberg sinking fast come to our assistance. Position Lat 41, 46 N. Long 50, 14 W. - MGY." The use of both old distress call letters CQD (Come Quickly Danger) and the new, universally recognized SOS, underscored the gravity of the situation. The Titanic's code letters, MGY, were a crucial piece of information for any receiving ship to locate the distressed vessel. The message, with its clear and concise instructions, served as a chilling reminder of the imminent danger and the desperate plea for help. This image, a poignant snapshot of history, captures the raw emotion and urgency of that fateful night. The hand-written letters, with their faded ink and creased paper, bear testament to the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. The message, sent out from the doomed Titanic, remains a poignant reminder of the importance of communication in times of crisis.
