ADEYOS first notified the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia about the incident on Jan. 7. RMST wants to remove a Marconi wireless telegraph transmitter from a “soundproof room” that has remained untouched for 108 years. ADThe natural decay of the wreck indicates the ceiling could collapse within a year, forever burying the radio, RMST told the Telegraph. The wireless was used to send distress calls in the early hours of April 15, 1912, after the Titanic hit an iceberg. It’s a CQD [SOS], old man,” the senior wireless operator, Jack Phillips, transmitted to a nearby ship after the collision.
