I will first state, I havent looked up when wire recorders were first in use, but I happned to own one in 1960s and actually used it on my ham radio desk while going to college. I copied both cw and also some voice AM signals in my SWL listening. I recorded my own cw signals , from time to time, as well. It worked, but a lot of trouble, and noises on it. It made a good CQ transmission, for voice. HI.

In that the so called experts stated they did not know of a devise that could record radio signals. Maybe if you have access to that it will indicate fake because it was four or five years after Titanic. Years ago I interviewed some of the old operators that were operating around then. I find it hard to believe there was a recording and the Cape Race VCE logs on Titanic were lost in the fire when the station burned in 1919.
