When at sea, communication between ships and the shore is of paramount importance for a seamless voyage. Seamen’s modes of communication have evolved significantly over the course of the years. Historically, ships at sea communicated primarily through semaphores and flags.
The introduction of radio communication into maritime communication resulted in a significant increase in overall safety for all parties involved. In the first half of the twentieth century, ships began equipping their vessels with radios, allowing them to communicate distress signals between themselves and with those onshore. Morse code was used for maritime communication between ships at sea during the first half of the twentieth century. Today, two-way communication radios are helpful to transmit audio information from ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore, and even ship-to-aircraft.
