After Marconi sent wireless telegraphic signals across the Atlantic Ocean in 1901, the system began being used for regular communication including ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship communication.

People probably realized that they should preemptively describe where they were soon afterwards, so asking about that was surely not necessary very often.
