cqd

for a while now, I been searching online and though several books for a definitive and complete timeline of all of Titanic's distress calls and replies from other ships. I just recently brought "Titanic: Signals of Disaster" but was slightly disappointed to find just a few miscellaneous...

According to the following websites fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/distance.html jan.ucc.nau.edu/~cvm/latlongdist.html ga.gov.au/nmd/geodesy/datums/vincenty_inverse.jsp ...and others if you plug in 41 degrees 46 min N, 50 degrees 14 min W and 42 degrees N, 47 degrees W ("the corner"), the bearing...

Just think: in this day and age, all air traffic controllers have to speak english. In 1912, this may have been different. Imagine that you only spoke Spanish for instance and received a message with the letters CQD or SOS. Now, you may have recognised that it as a distress call. You may even...

In a monograph published on the E-T site, Capt. L.M. Collins provides a meticulous cross-check of Fourth Officer Boxhall's arithmetic in computing Titanic's position when the ship began to sink. He demonstrates with egregious precision how a position of 41°46'N 50°14'W is calculated by...

Hi all, Does anyone know what the (DR) position of the Carpathia was when the Titanic's CQD was picked up? I can't find it anywhere! Best wishes Paul

Hi all, I'm hoping that someone can help me! I recall reading in one Titanic book that, at the British Enquiry, Boxhall said that he worked out the CQD position (41 44 50 24), started firing rockets and then reworked the position to the now famous 41,46/50,14. I have read the transcripts on the...

Captain Collins has brought us another insight into one of the mystifying aspects of the sinking--Boxhall's "final position." Even in 1912 there were questions over its accuracy. The discovery of the wreck has led to general awareness that Boxhall's CQD position was @ 13 miles west and north...

These are the actual distress calls received by various people from the titanic as they sank. I couldn't help myself but post them Notice the MSG. This is titanic. It's pretty creepy to see the actual cries for help.

'CQD' was standardised as a maritime distress call by the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company in 1904. 'CQ' had been used by British landline operators as a general call-up ("All stations attend") for quite some time, so most shipboard operators were familiar with it. However, Guglielmo Marconi...

Can anyone tell me what CQD stands for?I have seen Come Quickly Danger and CQ All stations D Distress.I understand that SOS does not stand for save our ship but it is the easiest to tap out,or maybe I'm wrong Anything on this would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

A mate of mine recently was in Paris and I asked him to find Nomadic at its place on the Seine and find out anything he could about its future. He reports that he could not find it, neither did anybody connected with the Paris riverboats know anything about it. This was in spite of having a...
