tonalc1 has it right. One of the first times s.o.s. was ever used was April 14-15 1912 as the R.M.S. Titanic foundered in the North Atlantic. It does NOT mean save our ship nor save our souls, that's just fancy wishing.

when i was in elementary school i asked this very question but instead of "save our ship" i was told "someone special" ie a folded letter that reads on the front "to s.o.s. from billy"

It doesn't mean anything. It was adopted as the distress signal in 1906; the thinking was that three dots, three dashes and three dots could not be misinterpreted.

It's from the old days of telegraphing. It stands for Save Our Ship. I hope that helps.
