    How long did CQD last until it was replaced by SOS?

    Question #114421. Asked by serpa. (Apr 29 10 8:02 PM)

    		'CQD' was established in 1904.

    'SOS' was adopted internationally in 1908 although 'CQD' was still used in Britain. The Titanic actually used both as it was going down. THe US didn't officially adopt 'SOS' until 1912.
