This is John Bachelor.

Conversation with my good colleague Charles Pellegrino,

author of Her name, Titanic, and other books about the Titanic Tragedy of 1912.

This moment we look at the Marconi room that was the wireless high-tech

on board Titanic manned all the time and Charlie tells the story of the two men who were at their post and stayed at their post till the end

To get out the SOS message Charlie has been on a deep-sea dive more than once to Titanic and has seen the Marconi

room as it exists now at the bottom of the ocean. Charles Pellegrino, her name Titanic,

a new addition twice the size of the one now, is coming out next year, Charlie tells me.

Inside, much of the equipment is still there, the table that held that little telegraph device, the key, has, it either broke to pieces

upon impact, but that key should still be in the room.

There was a brass key.

The two men in the Marconi Shack,

they stayed at their post, radioing at the condition

of the ship by Morse Code until literally the water was coming

into the Marconi shack into the room with them and then they evacuated they stayed

at that post till the very end.

One of the things I would like to see one day recovered from the titanic

is that key.

It belongs on display somewhere like the Smithsonian as a memorial to those two men.

More details later. Thank you.
