[snip] Molony, who has been studying the Titanic for 30 years, examined rarely seen photographs taken by Titanic's chief electrical engineer before it left the shipyard to identify black marks left by the fire on the front right-hand side of the ship's hull.

The photos came to light in a recent private auction, The Sun reports. They show 30-foot long black streaks — just where the iceberg would later strike.

"We appear to have a weakness or damage to the hull in that specific place, before she even left Belfast," Molony said.

He notes that there is a "myth" of a 300-foot gash opened up by the iceberg in Titanic's side, "but when the wreckage was examined, people were perplexed because they couldn't find anything like it."

The fire, which is known about but little discussed, began when hundreds of tons of coal "self-heated" enough to burst into flame in a huge fuel storage area adjacent to one of the ship's boiler rooms. According to the Telegraph, a dozen men were brought in to combat the flames, but they raged for days or even weeks, reaching temperatures perhaps as high as 1,000 C.

The Jews sank the Titanic.

I thought it was an iceberg.

Iceberg...Goldberg...Greenberg....what’s the difference?

Another bad shipwreck was the SS Lexington. It was loaded with bales of cotton and they put the cotton next to the burners. Jacob Vanderbilt, was usually the captain, but he was sick. Of the 143 passenger, only 4 survived. One person missed the boat, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Yep, she was going into refit during the winter layover. The run that claimed The Fitz was the last of that shipping season. It may have been that she grounded on seven fathom shoal earlier in the day. Or that she encountered a rogue wave in Superior known to sailors as “The three sisters”. Those are the competing theories, along with the damaged/ loose hatch cover.
