One good ping deserves another. That's an interesting article and I think those on the Titanic ping list will find it worthwhile. I certainly appreciate you making us aware of this.

One of the myths busted involved the class warfare perpetuated by the liberal filmmakers. The article states:

"No evidence has been given in the course of this case that would substantiate a charge that any attempt was made to keep back the third class passengers." Lord Mersey noted that third class passengers were "reluctant" to leave the ship, "unwilling to part with their baggage", and had difficulty getting from their quarters to the lifeboats.

The article also sets the record straight about J. Bruce Ismay, chairman of the White Star Line:

The 1943 German film Titanic, commissioned by the Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, portrays Ismay as a power-mad Jewish businessman who bullies the brave, Teutonic captain into driving the ship too fast through the ice despite being warned that this is reckless.

Interesting. Goebbels and James Cameron had the same point of view.
