Why was Titanic's wireless operator so rude to the Californian?

In this episode we explore the real reasoning behind Phillip's perceived 'rudeness' on the night of the sinking. We all know the story - Jack Phillips is sleep-deprived and busy working in the Titanic's Marconi room when the bumbling 'Californian' cuts in with an ear-shattering message. Phillips tells them to shut up - but is that the whole story? 'Tramps and Ladies' by Cunard Commodore Sir James Bisset tells us not! Enjoying the my ocean liner-themed ramblings?
