Thanks for posting; a stark, albeit unfortunate, contrast to what happened with the Prinsendam (http://www.qsl.net/n1ea/).
QuoteNo attempt was made to keep a radio watch, and it is notable that Guglielmo Marconi, who monitored the messages from the base ship later said:
"No wonder that on the Citta di Milano the SOS of the survivors could not be picked up by radio operators. They simply were not paying attention to her signals.".[1]
Unconscionable.
