I just worked out that Marconi's first wife was my Irish maternal great-grandmother's half-sister. Tuning in with interest! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guglielmo_Marconi www.thepeerage.com/p48399.htm#i483987

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Marconi's first wife Beatrice, www.thepeerage.com/p48399.htm#i483985 , was the daughter of www.thepeerage.com/p1795.htm#i17941 , whose first child by his first wife was my great-grandmother, www.thepeerage.com/p28200.htm#i281999.

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.
