Have you checked the AWA site? On the front page we've got a bit about the
Titanic, it's radio operator John G. Phillips, who sent the final msg, and
a sound clip of the msg recreation. We've got several working spark
transmitters in the Museum so I believe it's recorded from one of them.
I've none of that new-fangled sound thing on my computer yet so I haven't
heard the clip yet myself.

Also, upstairs in the Main Museum building we've got a simulated radio room
with the same type gear setup as used on the Titanic. Check with Ed Gable,
K2MP, our curator, to see if we could offer more help to you. He's featured
on the same front page. We try, if possible, to help museums and folks like
you and the local TV station with accurate information or whatever on radio
history. The AWA URL is usually in my sig as seen below . . .

Good luck with your project!

Regards,  Chris
