Britanons desperately need a baker for the UK bread
Just in time too. I think some sphincters can now relax across the pond. They have a shill over there that had well over 200 posts, fill 'em up with shite
Two landing craft north of Caracas. No indications of other Venezuelan coasties or Navy I can see. Last bit I had on the Iranian tankers coming in was PETUNIA with an ETA of 5/25
Oh shit. Skynet?
Sisko gave him a right cross to the jaw, no more problems on DS9 from Q after that
It's finally happened. Ten years in the Navy and now "I can't even" WHAT DAFUQ!
Telegraph would be in the "Marconi" room, boat deck, they have to be after something else.
The Marconi Company was a commercial venture, and as such needed to monetize their service to the greatest extent possible. Sending messages back and forth to other ships or using the system to contact shipping agents on shore to arrange berthings were important use cases, but not terribly profitable. Catering to the whims of well-heeled passengers, however, many with the desire to flaunt their wealth by sending a “Marconigram” from the middle of the Atlantic was very profitable. It cost 12 shillings and 6 pence for the first 10 words, the equivalent of $63 dollars in 2017.

The Marconi service proved so popular that in the first 36 hours of the crossing that Titanic‘s two radio officers, Harold Bride and Jack Phillips, sent approximately 250 Marconigrams to shore stations in the Marconi network. The young men, 22 and 24 respectively, worked long hours to service the demand, made worse by a failure of the brand new radio gear – it had only been installed a week before sailing – the day before the collision. The two stayed up all night diagnosing and repairing the problem, which was a violation of Marconi Company policy, but showed considerable dedication to their employer.
State of the Art
The Marconi suite on the Titanic was relatively spacious. It consisted of three rooms: the main room for the operator, a “Silent Room” with soundproof walls to house the loud spark-gap radio gear, and a small bunk room for the Marconi operators. The suite was located on the boat deck between the bridge and the Grand Staircase of the First Class entry. It was located as close to the top of the ship as possible to keep the feedline run to the antenna as short as possible.

Say what?
Aint buying no teletype story. In 1912 the messages would have been written down on a pad by the operator. A machine clattering away near the first class passengers? Nope
Purser's Office. I saw a mention on a Titanic forum that they believed the safe found empty was the second class purser's office on E Deck.
The First class Purser’s office was located near forward Grand Staircase on the starboard side of the ship, whilst travelling on the titanic passengers visited the purser’s Office to purchase tickets for the Ship’s Turkish Baths, deck chairs, swimming pool, and electric baths, guests wishing to send a radio telegram to friends and family back home could do so from here for a fee, the message was then conveyed to the Marconi Room on the Boat Deck by way of a pneumatic tube system, the purser’s office also contained a number of safes where passengers could store jewellery and valuables.
