On this night in 1912
In the icy darkness of the North Atlantic sometime between 2.15 a.m.
and 2.25 a.m. a primitive spark gap transmitter blasted the following
message into the aether and was forever silent thereafter.

RMS Titanic, passengers and crew.
May the silence of the deeps keep you safe unto the ending of the world.

Keep your sightglass full, your firebox trimmed and your spark gap clean.
