Subject: Titanic Radio Room - Pix and Story

Heres a nicely constructed web site on the Titanics radio operations.

Even if ya only have time to review the pics,its worth it!

This telegram gave precise details of the massive icefield already in the path of the ship. The surviving officers of the Titanic claimed that they had never seen the signal. Various theories have been advanced over the years as to why this terrible oversight occurred.

Yes very sad indeed.....

Its too bad they didnt have more advanced type radio stuff back then.... (A loud VOICE MESSAGE coming over the air warning them of the ice might have been heard better i dunno)

I do not believe in predestination of any kind. However, I do believe that the Titanic was destine to go down. There were WAY too many premonitions about it.

The strangest one was a short story that was written in 1898-14 years before the Titanic sailed.

The similarities between The "Titan" & the Titanic according to Wikipedia:

Although the novel was written before the RMS Titanic was even conceptualized, there are some uncanny similarities between both the fictional and real-life versions. Like the Titanic, the fictional ship sank in April in the North Atlantic, and there were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers. There are also similarities between the size (800 ft (244 m) long for Titan versus 882 ft 9 in (269 m) long for the Titanic), speed (25 knots for Titan, 22.5 knots for Titanic) and life-saving equipment.

Beyond the name, the similarities between the Titanic and the fictional Titan include:

    Both were described as the largest craft afloat and the greatest of the works of men
        The Titan was 800 feet long, displacing 75,000 tons (up from 45,000 in the 1898 edition).
        The Titanic was 882 feet long, displacing 46,000 tons.
    Described as "unsinkable"
    Had triple screw (propeller)
    Shortage of lifeboats
        The Titan carried "as few as the law allowed", 24 lifeboats, which could carry less than half of her total complement of 3,000.
        The Titanic carried only 16 lifeboats (plus 4 Engelhardt folding lifeboats).
    Struck an iceberg
        The Titan, moving at 25 knots, struck an iceberg on the starboard side on a night of April, in the North Atlantic, 400 nautical miles (740 km; 460 mi) from Newfoundland (Terranova).
        The Titanic, moving at 22½ knots, struck an iceberg on the starboard side on the night of April 14, 1912, in the North Atlantic, 400 nautical miles (740 km; 460 mi) from Newfoundland (Terranova).
    Sinking
        The Titan sank, and the majority of her 2,500 passengers and crew died; only 13 survived.
        The Titanic sank, and 1,523 of her 2,200 passengers and crew died; 705 survived.
        The Titan and Titanic both sank on a night in the month of April.

After the Titanic's sinking, some people credited Robertson with clairvoyance. Robertson denied this, claiming the similarities were explained by his extensive knowledge of shipbuilding and maritime trends.
