1 : Introduction to the question “What was the first message ever sent in Morse Code?
Sent by inventor Samuel F.B. Morse on May 24, 1844, over an experimental line from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, the first message ever sent in Morse Code read: “What hath God wrought?” Taken from the Bible, Numbers 23:23, and recorded on a paper tape, the phrase had been suggested to Morse by Annie Ellsworth, the young daughter of a friend. Each code character’s corresponding letter was subsequently handwritten underneath by Morse himself. The experiment’s success would forever change the national communication system.
