Welcome to a Morse code workshop at the Reykjavík Maritime Museum during the autumn break, 28 October at 10:00-12:00. Free admission and everyone is welcome! Would you like to learn how to write your name in Morse code? Or even send a secret message? During the autumn break, we invite families to a Morse code workshop where you can explore this fascinating communication method and create necklaces or bracelets using beads that represent Morse signals. The workshop will take place in the Pier Hall on the 1st floor. Instructions and all materials will be provided. Morse code is a communication system where sound, light, or signals of varying lengths are used instead of letters and numbers. It was once widely used on ships to send urgent messages - especially when other forms of communication were unavailable. By flashing lights or sending sound signals, ships could transmit distress calls, locations, or other important information across long distances. You can read a fun story (in Icelandic) about women at sea who used Morse code to send a message during the first Women’s Day Off protest in 1975 at this link to the Women’s History Archive's website: https://kvennasogusafn.is/index.php?page=sagan-hennar-mommu This event is part of the Reykjavík City Museum’s Autumn break program. Admission is free to all museum locations for adults accompanied by children 24-28 October.
