    This appeared just a couple of years before the TITANIC shipwreck…

    For a child who is constantly reprimanded for poor sleeping habits, Nemo appears to have an extremely healthy image of himself, projecting himself as the captain of the airship and leader of the rescue party.

    That’s “CQ” (“sécu,” from the French word sécurité; it meant a message to all stations ) and “D” (“distress”)—it became official in 1904. In 1906 they officially changed to SOS, though CQD was used before 1904 and well after 1906. The things that I never knew before today!

    That’s eerily prophetic. It was two years before the Titanic sank.
