500 kHz radiowachtontvanger
De radiotelegrafie nood en oproep frequentie 500 kHz moet 24 uur per dag, beluisterd en bewaakt worden door de dienstdoende radiotelegrafisten/radio officieren.
Daarvoor waren aanvankelijk 9 radio officieren aanwezig.
Dit aantal verminderde in de latere jaren.
Bij het loket waar de passagiers voor telegrammen en telefoongesprekken kwamen, was tbv het verplicht uitluisteren, deze radio ontvanger aanwezig.
Daarmee werd continue bewaking van de telegrafie nood- en oproepfrequentie 500kHz veilig gesteld.
De rechter "range selector", zou daarvoor ook op positie 4 moeten staan.
De linker "range selector" lijkt bedoeld voor aanpassing
op een ontvangantenne.

El SS Nomadic es un barco de vapor de la White Star Line, botado el 25 de abril de 1911 en Belfast. Fue construido como transbordador para los transatlánticos RMS Olympic y RMS Titanic.
En 1927 la White Star lo vendió a la Société Cherbourgeoise de Transbordement, que lo utilizó con el mismo nombre. En 1934 fue vendido de nuevo, esta vez a la Société Cherbourgeoise de Remorquage et de Sauvetage, que lo renombró Ingénieur Minard.
El Nomadic es el último barco sobreviviente de la extinta White Star Line.
La Belfast Industrial Heritage (una organización de Irlanda del Norte sin ánimo de lucro), en colaboración con John White y David Scott Beddard (creadores de SaveNomadic.com, un sitio web de peticiones), organizó una petición pública de donaciones con el fin de llevar al Nomadic al astillero Harland and Wolff para su restauración.
El 26 de enero de 2006, el Nomadic fue comprado en una subasta en París por el Departamento de Desarrollo Social de Irlanda del Norte. El coste del barco fue de 171.320 £ (250.001 €); el precio de reserva era de 165.000 £.
El Nomadic salió de El Havre para regresar a Belfast el 12 de julio de 2006, y llegó a donde fue construido el 18 de julio de ese año. El buque fue recibido por el Ministro de Desarrollo Social David Hanson, la concejala Ruth Patterson y entusiastas locales y mundiales. El Nomadic llegó en una gabarra de transporte marítimo, que había sido contratada desde Anchor Marine Transportation Limited. Tras la compra del barco, SaveNomadic.com se convirtió en el sitio web de la Nomadic Preservation Society (Sociedad de preservación del Nomadic).
El coste de la restauración del Nomadic se ha estimado en 7 millones de libras (más de 10 millones de euros). Los comisarios del puerto de Belfast acordaron proporcionar un atracadero temporal para el barco, y fue creado un fondo benéfico para coordinar la recaudación de fondos para la restauración. En 2007, fue incluido en el Registro Nacional de Buques Históricos del Reino Unido.
En febrero de 2011 se anunció que había sido concedido un contrato de 2 millones de libras a los constructores originales del Nomadic, Harland and Wolff, con el fin de restaurar su casco y reconstruir la superestructura del buque. Los fondos para el proyecto vinieron del EU Peace III Programme.

With two Art Deco saloons and an elevated promenade deck, SS Daniel Adamson has been described as a 1930s transatlantic liner, but in miniature. Now reopened thanks to a £3.8m HLF grant, The Danny is the latest in a long line of ships saved and restored thanks to National Lottery players – in fact, since 1994 more than £155m has been awarded to projects involving over 120 ships and boats.

The SS Nomadic
The SS Nomadic - Tender to the Titanic and the last remaining White Star Line ship in the world! Has been restored to her original glory and is now back home in Belfast’s historic Hamilton Dock.
These Photographs are a record of just a tiny part of the restoration work carried out by volunteer groups. In this instance the team of volunteers was from the Central Vacancy Taking Team in the Department for Employment & Learning based in Gloucester House Belfast.
As part of a team building exercise under the auspices of Business in the Community’s Northern Ireland cares Campaign the CVT team boarded Nomadic on a beautiful morning. The ship was moored alongside the Odyssey Building and we were tasked to work in the former kitchen area. The vessel had been used as a floating restaurant in France. There were tiles to be smashed lifted and carted away. It was hard work but the teamwork kicked in and everyone enjoyed it.
So much more than Titanic’s little sister!
Originally built alongside the mighty RMS Titanic in Belfast in 1911, the SS Nomadic is much more than just “Titanic’s little sister”. Designed by Thomas Andrews and built using the same design and similar luxurious finishes the similarities to the Titanic are plain to see. Being exactly one quarter of the size of her famous friend, the Nomadic is often referred to as “a mini Titanic” Over 100 years of history and adventures are evident the minute you step on board.
In April 1912, the Nomadic completed her most famous task by transferring the excited first and second-class passengers from the shallow dockside in Cherbourg out to the Titanic, which was moored in deeper water just off shore. In awe of the White Star Line luxury and ground breaking design those passengers were blissfully unaware of the tragic fate awaiting many of them only days later.
With active service in both World Wars, over fifty years experience of carrying thousands of passengers to the world’s largest trans-Atlantic liners and nearly thirty years as a restaurant and party venue moored beside the Eiffel Tower in Paris the Nomadic has a million stories to tell.
As the last remaining White Star Line ship anywhere in the world and a member of the core collection on the National Historic Ships register, the Nomadic is back “home” in Belfast, after 100 years, and has been painstakingly restored to her original glory. The Nomadic has now opened a new chapter in her history and is looking forward to welcoming a whole new generation of visitors on board.
One of the places I stayed in Northumberland in October 2015 was The White Swan Hotel in Alnwick. A town which again features in what will be the last ever episode of Downton Abbey, to be broadcast in the UK on Christmas Day and in America in spring 2016. I've walked past this hotel countless times over several decades and noticed the plaque outside which relates to the SS Olympic - twin sister ship to the Titanic - and its First Class Lounge which, amazingly, is now within the hotel. But I had never entered the hotel itself. So walking into dinner on a Monday evening was a jaw dropping moment. These photos, taken after breakfast in the same room the next morning, don't do it any justice in terms of its scale and size as the lens tends to foreshorten distances. The waiting must walk several miles just in the course of one sitting. A stunning experience and the closest I will ever get to dining on the Titanic.

Final year for full size GM RWD.
The Impala SS sport sedan came fully loaded at $24,405, with the only options being a heat reflective windshield, AM/FM CD player (no charge) and the 1SE package with power passenger seat, remote keyless entry and Twilight Sentinel. Gray leather interior seating five with front buckets was standard, along with P225/50ZR-17 high performance tires, 17" wheels, 4-speed automatic and three exterior paint selections of Black, Dark Cherry or Dark Green-Gray.
In the final year, Impala SS production exceeded Caprice sedan production with 41,941 (compared to 27,155 Caprice sedans). Production of GM full size RWD models at the Arlington, Texas plant ended in December 1996 to allow for added truck and SUV production capacity.

The SS Camlough ran aground and was wrecked on the morning of 14th January 1932, aftyer losing power in her engines during a full westerly gale. Although she was broken up for scrap where she lay, some remains can be seen on Monreith beach.
This October storms scoured away much of the sand covering the wreck and more of the Camlough was visible than usual.
