A VERY RARE & MUCH SOUGHT AFTER C.Q.D. MEDAL "FOR GALLANTRY" (1909)

Presented to the crews of SS REPUBLIC, SS BALTIC & SS FLORIDA for their heroic actions in saving 1700 lives after the collision of SS REPUBLIC & SS FLORIDA

THE FIRST TIME THAT RADIO WAS USED TO EFFECT A RESCUE AT SEA
Although not a Royal Navy Award we have listed it in this section due to it's classic naval status and great appeal to serious naval collectors.

This is a very rarely seen medal, so it was with some great surprise that we purchase two examples at once this week ( the second medal is listed below this listing)

Mintage was small with only 240 medals to SS REPUBLIC & just 97 medals to SS BALTIC ( medals to SS FLORIDA unknown ) thus probably less than 400 produced in total with many having been melted long ago due to it's heavy weight in silver.

JACK BINNS was the Marconi a Radio Set Operator who sent the first signal 'CQD' (ALL STATIONS DISTRESS) using the old 'Q' Code. ( Interestingly, Binns was offered the radio operators position on SS TITANIC but refused the offer ! )

A REAL CLASSIC & 'MUST HAVE' ITEM FOR THE SERIOUS NAVAL COLLECTOR.
