D. Goodwin tells how radio changed life and safety at sea from its introduction in the 1890s. The book traces the technology from spark transmitters and early receivers through vacuum tubes and radiotelephony to semiconductor technology, radiotelex, and satellite communication.<\/p>\n<p>The development of ships&#8217; radio stations is viewed in connection with the coastal stations that made communication possible. Radio direction finding, radar, and electronic positioning systems are also part of the picture of how radio technology came to matter for navigation.<\/p>\n<p>Weather forecasts, time signals, medical assistance, and news show that radio&#8217;s significance extended far beyond distress messages. Accounts from peace and war make room for the work and role of telegraph operators among the crew.<\/p>\n<p>The book was first published in 1995 and offers a historical perspective leading up to the transition to GMDSS and automated alerting. It suits radio enthusiasts, former seafarers, and readers of technical maritime history.<\/p>\n<p>The publication is in <strong>English<\/strong> and is published by Brown, Son &#038; Ferguson Ltd.
