Call of Titanic will go out again
Nearly 100 years ago, Jimmy Myrick, a 14-year-old Newfoundland boy, was one of the first people to hear RMS Titanic’s late-night distress call.
Now radio amateur David Myrick VO1VCE, a relative of young Myrick, will participate in the re-enactment.
The Chronicle Herald reports that the transmissions from the stricken vessel and the resulting bustle of activity at the Cape Race Marconi Station that occurred after Myrick alerted the station’s wireless operators to the impending disaster, will be re-enacted on April 14, as part of the 100th anniversary of the world’s most fascinating marine tragedies.
