On April 10, 1912, when the largest steamship in the world, the Titanic, belonging to the White Star Line company, set sail on its maiden voyage on the Southampton - New York route, with 2,227 people on board, no one knew that soon the name of this ship would be written forever as a symbol of the worst maritime tragedy in history. On the night of April 14-15, 1912, it hit an iceberg and about 1,500 passengers and crew members perished along with the ship.

On this occasion, as a memory, a memento, but also a reminder that the then developing telegraph service through two radio operators (Jack Philips and Harold Bride) saved the lives of more than 700 passengers, it will be, like every year, in the days On April 9 and 10, 2011, a special W0S brand was in operation, the station of which is located in the Titanic Museum in Branson, Missouri, USA.
