Re: Titanic museum in Fla.


Sorry for the delay in responding... as in another post, I've been out gathering research material.

As far as expeditions go, I was at sea with the 1998 Expedition for six weeks, with a brief stop in St. John's to re-provision the ship. I was there when the Big Piece surfaced (though not at that site, at the Titanic site) and was a part of all but one of the Discovery Channel shows from 1998 (at least somewhere in it).

A device my wife and I invented, the ROV T-Rex, went down to Titanic. In addition, and the greatest part of the experience, was to meet and get to know very well all the major players in the business. I met some of the consummate professionals from NBC, the Discovery Channel, IFREMER, authors, historians, technical experts all highly regarded in their fields, and so many others.

T-Rex was originally designed to do what Cameron's ROVs Jake and Elwood did. Cameron had a few more dollars to put into his creations than we did, plus, someone associated with the expedition "improperly" tinkered with our device and it didn't fulfill all of our expectations on it's first dive.

Everything was a great experience until the latter days of the expedition when Hurricane Bonnie changed course and came right at us. I'll never watch "A Perfect Storm" again. Don't need to... We rode waves up to 80 feet for 17 hours. It blew us 42 miles off site. What a ride it was.

LOL ok now I gotta ask - this is the expedition where the crew almost tossed Charlie Pelligrino off the ship for running up-and-down the the ropes on deck having a fine time, isn't it?

No. Charlie Pellegrino was not a part of the expedition I was on.

Oh, ok - apparently this was on one of those days when everyone else was peagreen with seasickness.

I assume you've read the latest dispatches about those huge waves? Someone in Denmark has found how they're formed, and they have now discovered three in the last two weeeks alone on the oceans - an indication that they're not nearly as rare as previously thought.
