Actually, it was spark that played a role, and we probably won't hear that from
the Titanic II, since it hasn't been legal on the air since 1938.
CW was still at least a decade off, though the date seems to be elusive.
Spark was still the mode used in 1920 for ships at sea, as chronicled in
My own research done for a recent club presentation suggested that Spark
was dead around 1920 for commercial purposes as a result of Lee
DeForest's vacuum tube which ushered in the age of CW. I also found
several references to spark having been outlawed for use on the ham
bands in 1923-1924.

pages, you'll see the three code variants all nicely lined up to
compare.
