Re: Titanic Myths

Yeah, that one is a little bit weird to say the least. One that I find interesting is the one about the man sealed in Titanic's hull.

Re: Titanic Myths

Haaaaa! I've heard that one too. How strange. Something of interest is that in one of the tabloids, the Weekly World News last week there was a Titanic related article in which someone swears they have been getting distress signals from Titanic 91 years after her sinking. What's more is that they claim the messages say that they need help because there are people still alive on the ship. Can you believe what some people will print!!!!!! emoticon

Re: Titanic Myths

Yeah, that one is good for a laugh too!!! Have you ever heard the one that someone supposedly saw Captain Smith swim to a lifeboat with a baby and after he handed it to someone, he swam away never to be seen again. Ha! Ha!

Re: Titanic Myths

Actually, that brings up a good point. Does anyone know for a fact what really happened to Captain Smith that night? I haven't ever seen anything that tells exactly what did happen. Anyone have any thoughts?

Re: Titanic Myths

Quite Right Kaz. The baby story is glorious!
I'd have it be true too.
