Left: Herbert O. Benson, radio operator of the newly sunk Merida Right: C. Krauter radio operator of the Princess Anne This picture shows the radio operators from the Merida and the Princess Anne after the 319 passengers and crew of the Merida were rescued. The Merida sunk after colliding with the fruit steamer Admiral Farragut that was on the way back to Jamaica from New York. The Merida was said to be carrying 17 tons of silver bars and another $1 million worth of jewels and other coins. However, several attempts to recover the treasure since have recovered only a fraction of that. New York Times Coverage: New York Times - May 12, 1911 MERIDA PASSENGERS TELL OF HER LOSS; The Princess Anne Brings Crew and Travelers Saved from Sinking Ward Liner. New York Times - May 13, 1911 SUNK IN SEA CRASH; 319 PERSONS SAVED; Ward Liner Merida, Rammed by the Admiral Farragut, Goes Down Off Cape Charles. New York Times - May 14, 1911 EVERYTHING LOST ON MERIDA.; Ship and Passengers' Effects Worth $2,000,000, Says Company's Agent.

Looks like an early machine for the transmission of photographs over via radio wave transmission. I recently saw a similar machine (not by Bermocchi) in the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, Australia. I can't find any online references to Bermocchi at the moment.

Herbert O. Benson, rescued radio operator of the sunk ship Merida. In Snopes.com, the article Same Old Slip repeats Benson's first-person account of the collision and his attempts to send an S. O. S. This dispels the myth (along with others in this article) that the Titanic in 1912 was the first ship to to send an S. O. S.
