binoculars

I accept there is decent circumstantial evidence for that. Circumstantial evidence is often flawed though. As as I said, until something written turns up (probably won't though sadly) it's a "not proven" verdict from me.

I am interested in the key that David Blair did not pass on when he left the Titanic in Southampton. The key that is being auctioned is what he reportedly kept as a souvenir. It has a tag "Crow's Nest Telephone Titanic" and I am puzzled that if this was the key to the telephone in the crow's...

At the outset I'd like to say that this is not a loaded question and not meant to restart the old debate of whether a pair of binoculars in the Titanic's crow's nest would have made a difference. But what I am interested in knowing is how much a pair of high quality binoculars would have cost...

It's my understanding that part of Titanic's problem was/is the fact that the rivets used on the curved areas of the hull were made of wrought iron instead of steel because the machine used to install the steel rivets would not fit/conform to the curved areas of the ship. Also the iron rivets...

Robert-Are you talking about the time travel thread? If so, my point was just because it looks like a Brownie on the outside doesn't mean it can't be loaded with 1600 push or IR film on the inside. You'd be amazed at what you can photograph through a night scope as well.

David C: Actually binoculars were recovered by RMSTI/IFREMER on the '94 Expedition (SEE: Explorers of the Titanic, Lindsy) Matt Tulloch was so kind to forward a scan of him holding them above a conservatory tray aboard the NADIR. I don't imagine they had F. Fleet's finger prints on...

There are many rumors, stories, and feelings about where the Crow's Nest's binoculars were. Can;t place where I read it, but it seems that I haev seen that they were placed in a locker by the officer who was replaced and never sailed and so were on the ship the whole time. Any other stories...

I have read from several different sources that David Blair knew where the lookouts binoculars were but never had the chance to tell anyone before he left the ship. Is this the truth or is it possible this is another subject that may have been stretched as many have said of Captain Smith's...
