Note: Last distress call sent out by Phillips to nearby ships at 2:17am ship's time. During this transmission, the power went out and the ship began to split apart. Three minutes after the final transmission, the Titanic sank. Phillips' body was never found. (CQD is the discontinued telegraph code for "General Call - Distress", now replaced with SOS.)
