| What does he mean by wireless on the boat on page 66? A telegram? |
|
| That would have been Telegraph. Telegraph key and morse code. My father [a captain at the time took me to see with him in 1959 and they were still using telegraph then, but wirelessly of course.
And during the war, Telegraph may have been the preference as it would have been more appropriate to send messages in code. |
|
| Wonderful cover picture, it just made my day :-) |
