Thanx Ben.

Here is another fact. The story is that the band played while it was sinking is false. Oh they played..until it was at such an angle they couldnt hold on to play. So for about the last 40 minutes..or longer they did not play.

The one I really take great interest in is the Lusitania. The Cap of that ship actually went down on her, and a miracle, he popped back up and survived. He was crucified in court, so to cover up the admiralty’s asses. The Brit navy have covered their asses since on that disaster.

BTW Ben. My uncle went into the navy just after WW1. He says they studied those two sinkings very closely. He knew an awful lot about them.

Said an whole lot of ships were saved during WW2 because they took note of the mistakes of those two ships.

He was on the USS Missouri at the signing of the surrender.
