The Marconi Room was the place where wireless operators Jack Phillips and Harold Bride held communication with ships and shore over a Marconi transmitter. Communication over the wireless worked using 'dots and dashes'. For example, 'S' is '...' and 'O' is '---'. When put together, you get the distress signal SOS sent during the sinking - '...___....' .When the purser brought messages from passengers to send forward, it was their job to send them to shore. Between those private messages, the operators also received messages from other ships, mostly iceberg warnings.

The room was part of the officers quarters and consisted of three small rooms, the first being the operators cabin or office, this room contained the equipment for the main marconi transmitter as well as an emergency transmitter, other equipment included pneumatic tubes and clocks made by the Magneta Time Co.

A small room to the left contained the operators berthing, as well as a wash basin and cupboard.

The "Silent room" was the name given to the room that was to the right of the operators cabin that contained the main transmitter, the ships T-type Arial also lead into an insulator atop the roof of this room, it contained many pieces of electrical switch gear for controlling the wireless set, among these was a switch for switching over to the emergency set.

The room was destroyed during the sinking, not a lot is visible in pictures of the wreck except for switchgear hanging from their cables, the Ariel most likely snapped during the sinking, and due to the high-voltages used, it is likely that pieces of switchgear exploded from being flooded out, sparks from the Ariel lead-in were also seen by passengers during the sinking.
