There were likely other icebergs in the area so one cannot know. But would be interesting if it is the actual berg responsible for that tragedy.

Icebergs gonna iceberg. Perhaps instead hubris by the Captain and others running the ship might get some blame instead.

"The photographer, believed to be the funeral director John Snow Jr"

He probably knows nothing about it himself. Just a random iceberg among several that were likely in the area at the time.

I seen the Ice Berg that was struck by the Titanic. I know it was the right one, because it was dented and had paint on it.

“They set off for the wreck site 800 miles away and arrived four hours later on April 17, 1912.”????

WTF?

“The crew began their grim task the next morning. In all they recovered 306 bodies from the sea.”

“The ship returned to Halifax seven days later with 190 Titanic victims.”

The rich libtards received coffins and the little people were dumped in the water.

Can we finally bring this iceberg to justice? I say we break it up, cube it up and serve margaritas with on it.

There was an old-time radio show involving a Henry Aldridge.

Doesn't look that big, but most of it is below the water.

We would have to put it and four other icebergs in a lineup.

Shouldn’t there be like a streak of red or black paint on it?

Probably not. There were many icebergs scattered about - and prior notice via radio tty. IIRC

200 mph

I guess we've lost the technology of hyper-speed ocean-going vessels.
