The Titanic game has errors. Truly disappointing.

That is an incredibly vague and uninformative statement. Perhaps you could be more specific (as in, at all)?

You're right, it would be more constructive to specify than to simply complain. My bad. Here's one error I remember. It's a misconception that the Titanic used the SOS signal; the radio operators used the older CQD signal. The game claimed, however, that the right answer is SOS. I can cite one online source off-hand, namely Snopes.com.

OK, I just checked Snopes. I guess I was wrong, they did use both CQD and SOS, but they only used SOS near the end of it, but the Titanic was definitely not the first in the world to use SOS.

My apologies.
