Both  are  right  ! 

 

 It is well documented in personal accounts of Harold Bride, second Radio Officer, and in the logs of the SS Carpathia, that the Titanic first used "CQD" to call for help. When Captain Smith gave the order to radio for help, first radio officer Jack Phillips sent "CQD" six times followed by the Titanic call letters, "MGY." Later, at Brides suggestion, Phillips interspersed his calls with "SOS." ,

CQD rather than SOS.

 

Pete, Thought it  was the  other way  round , first  use  of  SOS ?

Hi all

Interesting video of the actual scene very clear and reference to CQD rather than SOS.

And video of Marconi himself.

Fascinating!
