The Thessaloniki Calls For Help (1916)

For the Wireless Age, a magazine dedicated to the wonders of the invention of Marconi, there could be no greater testimony to the virtues of the wireless in February 1916 than the story of the SS Thessaloniki. “How the Art Was Employed to Keep Other Craft in Touch with a Ship That Was Saved, Lost, Found and Finally Abandoned. The Devotion to Duty of Three Marconi Operators in Time of Stress and the Rescue Which Followed Days of Hardship and Peril” was their triumphant title.
