Heroic Ship

Views has one abiding hobby, RMS Titanic, he reads the articles, he will watch anything about Titanic, read the books, the ultimate ship v nature and nature won. The BBC Reports that a dive will take place to have a look at the rescue ship RMS Carpathia. The Carpathia was sunk by the German in WW1. The dive will try and rescue artifacts that have a connection with the Titianic.


Daily Telegraph ( UK )
: A very interesting article on a key that has come to light that could have saved the Titanic. The key unlocked compartment that held the Titanic's binoculars, the key was not passed by the departing officer to his colleague. Thus the lookouts did not have them on that cold fate full night. In the view of one of the lookouts the binoculars would have given them greater distance to see and thus save the ship.
