In that case, they should have issued a mayday as soon as they discovered

Hmmm... my understanding was the the Titanic did not send

up any distress
signal, although there were claims that they did. They

fired rockets, but
not red ones I believe.

Joe, for 2.5 points, which distress signal did the

Titanic
send out.


MGY (the Titanic's call sign) CQD

And some time later they remembered the then-new signal

and sent

MGY SOS

So the answer is both.

Is that were SOS came from? or was it save our souls?


No it stands for "Steel Only Sinks."
