Save Our Ship Published by The American Experience & WGBH Interactive Age Group: Age 8 and Up Type: Science License: free

In times of disaster the safety of everyone aboard large passenger ships often relied on one man, the ship's wireless operator. On January 23, 1909, the New York-bound "Florida" rammed into the "Republic." Jack Binns, the "Republic's" radio man, sent out a distress call.

Live through a small portion of Binn's experience. Tap out the distress call in morse code on the radio's key. You can use the mouse or the space bar. Succeed and all lives on board the "Republic" will be rescued!
