Message: [QUOTE="Mike Herbold, post: 249542, member: 142218"] Charles: As luck would have it, I'm re-reading the Logan Marshall book right now. Haven't gotten to Weikman's interview yet, but I'll thumb through real quick. Boy, there are some real wild statements printed there, though. This one is off the subject at hand, but a good example: ""Mr. Ismay was in the first lifeboat that left the Titanic," declared William Jones, an eighteen-year-old stoker, who was called to man one of the lifeboats. Jones comes from Southampton, England, and this was his first ocean voyage. He left the Carpathia tottering. "There were three fireman in each boat," he said. "I don't know how many were killed in the boiler explosion which occurred after the last lifeboat had put off. I saw four boats, filled with first cabin passengers, sink. In the boat I was in, two women died from exposure. We were picked up at 8 o'clock."" How many untrue things are in that one statement? Mike [/QUOTE]
