Ghosts of the Titanic

Product Information

Despite their footman, Edwin Charles Wheeler, loading their belongings onto RMS Titanic two days prior, as the couple had planned to travel in a first-class cabin, a family member warned them against doing so, stating: “… so many things can go wrong on a maiden voyage”. The Vanderbilts, therefore, rebooked onto Olympic, with Edwin choosing to travel aboard the ship with his employers’ belongings and sadly lost his life during the sinking. [3] 7 Esther Hart

ISBN 0-87617-024-6 Perhaps the most haunting tales of foresight concerning the famous tragedy were seen before the eyes as dreams or visions. One of the most abnormal occurred on the night of April 14th, 1912, when a girl named Jessie lay dying of illness in a Scottish orphanage. As she was comforted by members of the Salvation Army who had cared for her for years, she began vividly and tearfully describing a massive ship, sinking in the North Atlantic before her very eyes, with hundreds of people drowning and “someone called Wally playing a fiddle.” Many of the events relayed by Jessie are too precise to have been mere coincidences. How she could possibly know all that is nothing short of eerie.

Marshall, Logan (2012). On Board the Titanic: The Complete Story with Eyewitness Accounts. Courier Corporation. p.94. ISBN 9780486134505. The first unqualified assertion of Titanic 's unsinkability appeared in The New York Times on 16 April 1912, a day after the tragedy. Philip A. S. Franklin, vice president of the International Mercantile Marine Company (White Star Line's holding company) stated after being told of the sinking, "I thought her unsinkable, and I based my opinion on the best expert advice available. I do not understand it." [8] This comment was seized upon by the press, and the idea that the White Star Line had previously declared Titanic unsinkable (without qualification) gained immediate and widespread currency.

These eerie incidents must surely be the acts of the unquiet spirits that remain where their earthly remains were brought after the sinking. 3. The Luxor Exhibit in Las Vegas, Nevada Also included and not accurate were the funnels and stern section appearing intact, when in reality, both were torn apart during the sinking.

Ballard led the expedition the following year, recording video inside the ship, using a deep-ocean submersible named Alvin and a smaller, more maneuverable remote camera called Jason Jr that could pass through narrow openings. The first sighting of Smith’s ghost occurred before the world knew of the tragedy. Captain Smith’s wife, Sarah Eleanor Smith, was in her drawing room when the door opened. She watched her husband walk across the carpet towards the window. No doubt this was viewed with some surprise, as he was supposed to be sailing across the Atlantic at the time. Moreover, he neither looked at her nor spoke to her. When he reached the window, Captain Smith simply disappeared. It was too early for news of the Titanic disaster to have reached Mrs Smith, but she knew. From the moment she saw his ghost, she knew. Morgan Robertson stated he did not possess any psychic abilities, as the novel was based on his knowledge of shipbuilding trends and understanding of the dangers of modern ships. Yet, the similarities are more than a little uncanny. After all, both the fictional and real liners were believed to be “practically unsinkable”, and they were both the same size at roughly 270 meters long, were capable of reaching speeds of 20 knots, and featured a barely legal number of lifeboats. What’s more, they both sank 400 nautical miles away from Newfoundland, Canada, on an April evening. [1] 9 Edith Corse Evans Lee, Paul (27 June 2009). The Titanic and the Indifferent Stranger.

The company actually did not violateany safety laws, because according to the regulations of the time, the number of boats was based on the weight of the ship, not on the number of passengers. It was a fatal calculation. With the 16 lifeboats and four folding boats that were onboard, only 700 people could be rescued. 7. Art predicts life At this point, we were fortunate enough to begin a collaboration with the American Armed Forces Identification Laboratory. And they told me that there actually has to be two differences for them to be able to conclude that there actually was a difference between the Goodwin and the Panula family pedigrees. So they took on the project and it was really quite difficult because these pedigrees were really quite close. But they persisted and worked very hard and were able to find one more difference that was consistent with the Goodwin family as opposed to the Panula child. The most dramatic deterioration has been caused by biological factors. It used to be thought that the depths of the ocean were a lifeless desert, but research carried out since the mid-1980s has found that the ocean floor is teeming with life and may rival the tropical rainforests for biodiversity. [109] During the 1991 IMAX expedition, scientists were surprised by the variety of organisms that they found in and around the Titanic. A total of 28 species were observed, including sea anemones, crabs, shrimp, starfish, and rattail fish up to a yard (1 m) long. [90] Much larger creatures have been glimpsed by explorers. [110]
