[CW] How was message routing done?

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

RK,

You might search YouTube for a video about Portishead Radio which explained
that  Lloyd's of London (ship insurance company) had a Desk which was
charged with compiling the locations of ships worldwide from Transit
Reports (TR's), Ship sent Weather Observations (OBS) and lastly
from Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue System (AMVER) reports
collected by USCG through Morse stations worldwide.

This video mentions consulting Lloyd's of London
