The most famous Morse Code is "SOS", ---...---, which means "Save Our Ship". It was first used in the sinking of the [[Titanic]] in 1912.

The most famous Morse Code sequence is "SOS" (---...---).  Officially adopted as a distress call in 1908, it replaced the older "CQD".  While commonly believed to stand for "Save Our Souls" or "Save Our Ship", it does not; the sequence was chosen for its ease of use and recognizability.[http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/060199tip6.htm]
