We have in our collection, a rare wireless telegraph key that was given by your father, Ray Meyers to Louise Moreau, a telegraph historian in 1970. He told her it was the telegraph key that was used on board the Nautilus, and was the actual key that sent all the messages including the SOS in the Atlantic. I have found the original letter that your father wrote to Louise back in 1970 describing the key & the fact that the key had traveled 100, 000 miles with him and that he had sent millions of words using it! Louise Moreau died in 1994 and donated her collection of telegraph apparatus & ephemera to the AWA. Jean, do you remember this key? If so, did your father ever mention any stories related to it? Would you like a photo of the letter & the key? My email address is wireless@pce.net My wife and I are both Amateur Radio Operators. Thanking you very much in advance, James and Felicia Kreuzer N2GHD KA2GXL Hi Jean,

It's kind of amazing that these guys even made it back! It would take 37 years before the nuclear powered USS Nautilus maade its trans-polar dive.
