Did You Know...?

Many people think that "SOS" is an acronym for "Save Our Souls" or "Save Our Ship". In fact, SOS doesn't have any other meaning: the three letters were simply chosen as the ideal distress signal because they're easy to remember in Morse code (three dots, three dashes, and three dots).

SOS only became a formal distress signal in 1906, about 70 years after the invention of the original Morse code. Before this, ships in distress would send messages such as SSS DDD and other sequences such as CQD and NC in Morse to call for help. The wireless operators on the Titanic signaled both CQD and SOS to communicate the ship's emergency situation.
