The size of the boat was greatly exaggerated. This picture was taken shortly after a man by the name of Cussler successfully Raise(d) the Titanic.

There's been so much misinformation put out since the movie that we'll probably never know the real truth behind the "Titanic". There probably was a boat at some point, whether that was a false flag or some other paramilitary operation, there's no way of knowing.
All I'm pointing out is that life was a lot simpler in 1996 when nobody had ever heard of this bullshite, now everyone thinks they're a historian.

the Titanic sinking is one of the most famous things to ever happen in the history of famous things that have happened
For a few short years, till RMS Lusitania sunk by U-boat in 1915. Titanic held its beer from then on till Cameron's movie flipped the script.

Man it's crazy how a slightly above average movie can make the population care about a sunk ship that nobody had ever heard of before the nineties.

DMC CEO....snorted all the profits.
He was the Antichrist of Lee Iococca.
I bet St. Peter let Henry Ford himself cast old JD down amongst the sodomites personally, and upon arrival.

Oh, and no.

quote:Actually quite the opposite. They intentionally chose the name "Titanic" to appeal to the masses' interest in that tragic event. That was flat out sorry, and why I refused to watch it. They used the deaths of 1,500 people just to sell movie tickets to their fictional love story. If it was named anything else, nowhere near as many people would have seen it.

like what? sinking ship?

His body was long gone. Even his clothes. Likely found the note mixed in with part of some shoes and other non-organic clothing materials.

Very likely taken from the drowned body of the man recovered within a day or two of the sinking.

Anyone else heard this? True? BS?
I had not previously heard this story, but a couple of thoughts immediately come to mind...
1) It seems like there wouldn't only be one key to the Crow's Nest equipment locker.
2) If there was only one key, and they were unable/unwilling to force the lock, you'd think the world's largest passenger liner would have an extra pair of binoculars laying around somewhere.

Yeah it seems that way to you because you're probably too young to remember before 1997. But way back then, we didn't give a frick about the Titanic.
Yeah, that's not true. Just because you never heard about it doesn't mean everyone else on the planet isn't smarter than you.

I'm pretty sure Dirk Pitt raised the Titanic. Clive Cussler just wrote the book about his exploits.

And your logic is not flawed.
My assumptions when I first read it: 1) of course there were other pairs of binocs on board, and he made do with them. I mean, how silly.
2) locking the binocs up suggests they were too valuable (powerful/important/pricey) to be risked hauling up and down the mast. NOT to be entrusted to men not trained to handle them properly. Since such steps were taken to protect them, logical they were the only pair capable of that ???x magnification on board; no back-up of equal power was deemed necessary, cost-effective, or both.
