I found Titanic
First Wireless Operator Jack Phillips quickly wrote down the message. He turned to his young assistant Harold Bride. " It's another iceberg warning". He looked wearily at the young assistant. " You better take it up to the bridge".
Both men were tired. They had been up for hours trying to get caught up sending out personal messages. Bride took the message and stepped out onto the Boat Deck. It was a sunny but cold Sunday morning. It was the huge liner's fourth day of it's maiden voyage. On a calm sea, the liner was steaming at full speed.
Harold Bride was happy that morning. At just 22 years old, Bride had a job on the biggest ship in the world. By this time, he only had 9 months experience operating a wireless set.
Bride walked onto the bridge. He saw Captain Smith. He handed the Captain the iceberg message.
" It's from the Caronia Sir".
Captain Smith read the message. He put it on the Officer's bulletin board.
