The 'SOS' signal was established as an International Distress Signal by an agreement made between the British Marconi Society and the German Telefunk organisation at the Berlin Radio Conference, 3 October 1906. The signal was formally introduced on 1 July 1908.
The first time the 'SOS' signal was used in an emergency was on 10 June 1909, when the Cunard liner SS Slavonia was wrecked off the Azores. Two steamers received her signals and went to the rescue.

Its generally agreed that historically it was from the Titanic that the first SOS signal was sent (interspersed with CQD, as not everyone was yet familiar with it)

Actually, it would have been someone from the radio room of the Titanic. More than likely, it was Harold Bride.
