Explanation

SOS is the international distress signal used in maritime communication. While it was chosen primarily for its distinctive Morse code pattern (three short, three long, three short), it has been popularly interpreted as 'Save Our Souls' or 'Save Our Ship.' The signal was adopted at the International Wireless Telegraph Convention in 1906 and replaced the earlier CQD distress signal.
