David Brown, author of "Last Log of the Titanic," also present at Woods Hole, was in dissent along with Parks. I know that the producers think they have to simplify things for the TV audience but I disagree, and to have indicated that there were dissenting views would have made the entire program a lot more interesting (and nothing they showed disproved the "grounding theory" either).

I also found their "new animation" of the sinking both over the top and weirdly implausible.

Hello Susan,

Many thanks for your comment. Parks Stephenson and David Brown co-authored a white paper on the "Grounding Theory" that has become the definitive source for the theory that Titanic not only grazed the starboard side of an iceberg, but also ran over the top of the berg. Until reading some recent threads on Encyclopedia Titanica from David Brown, I did not know where he stood regarding Roger Long's theory. Last week, in discussions with my good friend Robert Williams, he told me that he has been in contact quite regularly with David Brown. Robert will be mounting his third expedition out to Titanic in 2006 and I am sure that he will have a few major objectives in either proving or disproving the Grounding Theory. As for me, I totally agree with you that there was nothing from this new discovery that refutes the theory.

rich

why is there no photographs of the titanic
name plates from either the Bow or stern

as these must have been either pressed in the
metal work or raised Lettering and welded on after

i expected to see TITANIC with Liverpool on the stern

Hello Rich,

Most of the bow and stern sections where the nameplate is located is covered under a thick growth of rusticles. In the early 1990's, as part of the IMAX-French expedition, pioneer Titanic submersible diver, Ralph White, actually scrubbed a section of the bow looking for the nameplate and he was able to uncover a couple of the Titanic letters. Last year while diving and lecturing on Keldysh with Ralph White, he showed me pictures of the exposed lettters on Titanic's bow that he took as part of the IMAX expedition. I have no doubt that the letters are still there but obscured by the immense growth of the rusticles.
Many thanks for your excellent question!

Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man?living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money.

I am very grateful to David Concannon and Robert Williams for setting this whole investigative theory into an active hunt for the new evidence. In 2003, both Robert Williams and Fred McLaren spent their entire dives doing "sand sweeps" outside the perimeter of the main sections of Titanic in pursuit of keel pieces. Even though they had limited success, their time spent on the bottom ruled out sections that needed to be explored. I am sure that the limited amount of dives available to the latest research team can owe these researchers a debt of thanks for narrowing their search pattern.
