Do you ever wonder how ships before the Titanic era would communicate?

Well, they didn’t communicate directly at all.

The use of flares and flags were the main communication methods, but all of that changed with the introduction of an Irish- Italian man named Gulielmo Marconi and his revolutionary wireless invention.

Titanic was equipped with a Marconi machine, and two wireless operators. Hear how junior wireless operator, Harold Bride, recalls the night of the sinking in a letter he sent to the Marconi company after the disaster.
