... Friday, November 12, 2004 London A wireless message relayed to a ship rescuing survivors from the Titanic -- and sent by Guglielmo Marconi, the creator of wireless radio -- was sold for almost $5,500 yesterday at a British auction house. The Marconigram, asking for news of the 1912 disaster, was relayed from New York to the SS Carpathia as members of her crew plucked survivors from the Atlantic Ocean. Transcribed in pencil, a Marconigram was transmitted by a wireless designed by the man known as the father of radio. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servl.../20041112/WORL D12-5/TPInternational/TopStories WHOA... I was ready to say that in all the accounts I have read concerning the Titanic disaster that Guglielmo Marconi never sent or relayed a message. He did send one---just one message!
