Titanic cover-up?......So who's fault was it?
Many alternative theories to the sinking of the
superliner RMS Titanic have been put forward.
superliner RMS Titanic have been put forward.
The accepted reason for the sinking, which resulted in the death of more than 1,500 people, is that the ship struck an iceberg at 11:40 PM on 14 April 1912, buckling the hull and allowing water to enter the ship’s first five watertight compartments (one more than the Titanic was designed to survive), and sank two hours and forty minutes later.
Hypotheses which have been suggested as the cause of the disaster include unsafe speed, an insurance scam, an ice-pack rather than an iceberg, and even a curse on the ship by the Unlucky Mummy.

(see close-up of inset photo below)
Another theory involves Titanic's watertight doors. This theory suggests that if these doors had been opened, the Titanic would have sunk on an even keel and therefore, perhaps, remained afloat long enough for rescue ships to arrive. In a 1998 documentary entitled "Titanic: Secrets Revealed", the Discovery Channel ran model simulations which seemed to rebut this theory. The simulations indicated that opening Titanic's watertight doors would have caused the ship to capsize over half an hour earlier than she actually sank.
Who is responsible for this TRAGIC sinking?
YOU decide.
....Eddie might not be around for a while....

A Boot?...............on a Boat??
We wanted some secure-ish storage....
....and also some buoyancy....
....2 into 1 will go....
....it's simple Math's....
....it's an open....
....and shut case....
....it will be lockable too....
....and airtight after fitting some air/water neoprene sealing strip....
Not my original idea, there is no such thing, but I did see it on the interweb
or something very similar and thought it rather useful?

Titanic & Olympic
Like the old saying goes....
"the best things in life come as pairs"....
Like;
Feet
Hands
Socks
....and of course the famous....
....Titanic & Olympic....
....Yes it went a "bit wonky" for the Titanic....
BUT
....here are two fine examples of what can happen when things go right.....
....not Wright....
....RIGHT....
....Yes, we made one each....
....and it's working out rather nicely....
....what a pair...
....it's taken longer than expected....
....but Rome wasn't built in a day....
....whatever that has to do with anything here....
....ponders....
Eddie.........and Drake
....Paint it, Black....

Woo-Hoo it works..............Egg on yer Face to all you unbelievers!!
OK, it's only at "mock-up" stage.
We had originally wanted to make our own tents but costing
this out proved prohibitively expensive.....so we bought them.

....it has a side door for stepping into it....
....and is high enough to sit up in....
....as my "young" assistant Drake Sleepditch demonstrates....
Yes he does exist, just like Eddie Stalkperch does!
...woo-hoo indeed...
....Bow view....
....another bow view....
