google.com	TITANIC ARTIFACTS LINKED TO OFFICER MURDOCH From the pitch-black depths 2½ miles beneath the North Atlantic, salvagers of the Titanic made a notable discovery when they located the personal effects of William Murdoch, the bridge officer who tried in vain to keep the doomed ship from colliding with an iceberg. The artifacts — including a shoe brush, straight razor and pipe — are the first to be specifically linked to Murdoch, who gained added notoriety after James Cameron's polemical portrayal of him in the 1997 blockbuster movie "Titanic." In the film, Murdoch accepts bribes, kills two people trying to get on lifeboats and shoots himself in desperation as the ship sinks. Historical accounts, however, say Murdoch gave the order to try to avoid a collision and acted selflessly to get passengers on lifeboats. "This will bring Murdoch back front and center to the tragedy," said Bill Sauder, who manages Titanic research for RMS Titanic Inc. The company oversees the artifacts and gave The Associated Press an exclusive look at a new exhibit that opens Friday at Premier Exhibitions in Atlanta. RMST is a subsidiary of Premier Exhibitions....	3rd April 2012

Dumfries and Galloway Standard	NEW TITANIC CLAIMS BLAME DALBEATTIE MAN A SON of Dalbeattie could have prevented the world’s worst maritime disaster. William Murdoch, first officer on the ill-fated Titanic, might have saved the “unsinkable” passenger liner had he taken immediate action when an iceberg was spotted. Instead, according to a new book, Murdoch delayed for 30 seconds, analysing information coming his way. And that delay, the researchers who wrote “Report into the Loss of the SS Titanic: A Centennial Reappraisal” claim, meant the ship was unable to avoid the collision that ended with more than 1,500 people losing their lives....	16th December 2011
