The City Of
Belfast Radio Amateur Society
(GI-21131 / GI2BX)
operated as
GI2012MGY
From onboard Titanic's tender boat, the
SS Nomadic (above),
from the
12th to 15th of April.
MGY
was the ill-fated Titanic's callsign,
so
Hams all around the world queued up to work this station.
The
SS Nomadic
was commissioned by the White Star Line in 1910,
to tender for
their new ocean liners RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic,
which were too
large to dock in Cherbourg harbour. She ferried
passengers, their baggage, mail
and ship's supplies to and from
large ocean liners moored off-shore. Nomadic was
commissioned
to transfer 1st and 2nd class passengers only, so it had the
same
luxurious finish as the Titanic.
