Mysterious Distress Call
Sometime in the 1940s, a bizarre distress call came that an entire crew and captain had died on a ship. It was followed by indecipherable morse code and the final three words, “I am dying.” Two American ships, the State of Baltimore and the Silver Star, picked up the distress call.
With the help of UK monitoring systems, the two ships were able to triangulate where the distress call came from. The Silver Star quickly rerouted and headed towards the SS Ourang Medan. The call was confusing, and some of it was hard to understand, but they were on their way to help.
