Sender of the S. O. S. Signal for Help, (April 20), 1912. Creator: Unknown
Sender of the " S. O. S." Signal for Help, (April 20), 1912. John George Phillips (nicknamed Jack, 1887-1912) was the ships senior wireless operator who tried to save the Titanic and all those on board by transmitting pleas for help until the ship lost power and sank. He died in the tragedy and his body was never recovered. The White Star Line ship RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in thick fog off Newfoundland on 14 April 1912. She was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of her time, and thought to be unsinkable. In the collision, five of her watertight compartments were compromised and she sank. Out of the 2228 people on board, only 705 survived. A major cause of the loss of life was the insufficient number of lifeboats she carried.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the face of bravery and tragedy intertwined. The image depicts John George Phillips, the senior wireless operator aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic, who valiantly sent out distress signals until his last breath. Known as Jack to his colleagues, Phillips fought against time and circumstances in a desperate attempt to save both the ship and its passengers. On that fateful night of April 14,1912, the luxurious Titanic collided with an iceberg amidst thick fog off Newfoundland. Despite being deemed unsinkable, this magnificent ocean liner succumbed to its fate as five watertight compartments were compromised. The loss was catastrophic - out of 2228 souls on board, only 705 managed to survive. Phillips' dedication and unwavering commitment are forever etched in history. His relentless efforts to transmit pleas for help echo through time as a testament to human resilience in moments of utmost despair. Tragically, he perished alongside countless others when the ship finally succumbed to its icy grave. This photograph is part of "Titanic In Memoriam Number" a special supplement published by "The Daily Graphic" newspaper on April 20th following the sinking of Titanic just days prior. It serves as a somber reminder not only of one man's heroic sacrifice but also highlights one significant factor contributing to such devastating loss - the insufficient number of lifeboats carried onboard this grand vessel. As we gaze upon this haunting image today, may it serve as a solemn tribute not only to those lost at sea but also as a reminder that even in our darkest hours, acts of courage can shine through like beacons seeking salvation from an unforgiving abyss.
