Cape Race Lighthouse

In 1910 the New York Associated press had an office at Cape Race to relay their news stories from Britain to New York. Robert Huntson was the operator of the Cape Race station during the Titanic disaster and received a message from the Titanic. He took notes that later revealed at 10:25pm EST on April 14 the Titanic distress signal was heard. 10:35 The titanic called the Carpathia and said "we require immediate assistance." At 10:55 another message was picked up "Have struck iceberg and sinking." At 11:36 the Olympic contacted the Titanic and requested its coordinates. Titanic replied "We are putting women off in the boats." At 12:50 April 15 the Virginian told the station that it had lost contact with the Titanic.
