belfasttelegraph.co.uk	TITANIC: DID PSYCHIC CAT FORETELL DISASTER? Ship's cats were common on board great liners in the period, partly to keep down any vermin. The Titanic apparently had her own feline mascot, a ship’s cat that stewardess Violet Jessop said was called Jenny. While the ship was being loaded at Southampton, Jenny presented her keepers with a litter of kittens. Versions of the fate of this new family vary. According to one, they died when the Titanic went down. According to another report, when the ship docked at Southampton, Jenny calmly transported her kittens off the doomed ship, one by one, and left for a new life. ...	24th March 2012

belfasttelegraph.co.uk	WAS IT REALLY TITANIC THAT SANK? An event like the Titanic disaster will always attract conspiracy theories but can we really believe that the ship that struck the iceberg on that fateful night wasn't, in fact, the Titanic at all? In Robin Gardiner's detailed book, Titanic: The Ship that Never Sank?, he claims that the loss of the ship was the result of an insurance claim that went badly wrong. Imagine, if you will, that the Titanic's near identical sister ship The Olympic was severely damaged in a collision while sailing from Southampton. The cruiser HMS Hawke smashed into the side of the Olympic and an inquiry later exonerated the Hawke of all blame....	24th March 2012

Villages Daily Sun	FIRST BAPTIST OF OXFORD USING STORY OF THE TITANIC TO ILLUSTRATE BIBLICAL MESSAGE When the Titanic set sail on April 10, 1912, the ship was deemed the biggest, fastest ship in the world, and most importantly, it was called unsinkable. Tragically, five days later, the ship struck an iceberg and sank, taking with it 1,523 lives out of the 2,228 passengers on board.The story of the Titanic is probably one of the most well-known tragedies in history.

Millvina Dean, 94, of Hampshire, England, who was just an infant when the ship went down, said the sale of items from the Titanic was "awfully wrong" and showed the greed of those involved.

I don't suppose these people thought of that. ¢€¦ They just thought of the money." ...	31st October 2006

bbc.co.uk	TITANIC RESCUE MEDALS AUCTIONED A medal presented to a Liverpool sailor who steered a ship to rescue passengers of the Titanic has sold for nearly £5,000 in London. A similar medal cast in silver was bought for nearly £8,000, which was £3,000 more than expected. Both medals were awarded to officers and crew of RMS Carpathia for their actions in rescuing over 700 survivors of the disaster. J.J. Kirkpatrick received a bronze medal for his part in guiding the ship. The Carpathia was sailing from New York to Europe when it received a distress call from the Titanic on 15 April 1912. It immediately changed direction, and travelled nearly 60 miles to the ship's location. Charles Miller Ltd, which held the auction, said it is thought 21-year-old J.J. Kirkpatrick was at the helm during the rescue effort. When the ship arrived, the Titanic had already sunk....	25th April 2012

ABC News	TITANIC SPLIT THEORY CHALLENGED "This ship didn't split apart because it sank," said John Chatterton, a co-host of the History Channel's "Deep Sea Detectives." "It sank because it split apart. And if you're the person onboard a ship, having it split apart is even scarier than having it slowly sink."Chatterton and his co-host, Richie Kohler, set out on an expedition to research the legendary ocean liner last summer. They encountered two huge sections of the bottom - 60 feet by 90 feet - from the area where the ship had split in two. That led to a new theory about how the Titanic had sunk. ...	26th February 2006
