Morse Code
Morse Code Alphabet was invented by Samuel F. B. Morse as a way of communicating over a telegraph. Each character in the Military Morse Code is represented by a series of dots (".") and dashes ("-"). The invention of wireless telegraphy enabled Morse's system of dots and dashes to play a key role in 20th- century ship-to-shore communication. Morse code was extensively used for early radio communication beginning in the 1890s. In the early part of the twentieth century, the majority of high-speed international communication was conducted in Morse code, using telegraph lines, undersea cables, and radio circuits. In 1999 the last four stations that communicated with ships by Morse code signed off the air.
