The authentic 1912 telegraph equipment you'll see in the Marconi Room is identical to that installed in Titanic's wireless room. It is valued at $250,000. This primitive system was the ships only link to the world and a popular means for passengers to send messages home.

Two men employed by the Marconi Company worked in this small windowless room near the bridge. Their main job was to receive and send messages by radio waves using Morse code. Little did they know they would soon be tapping out one of the first SOS signals from a ship in distress.
