Message: [QUOTE="Charles Provost, post: 249549, member: 137142"] Michael: You started an interesting point of view. I have never thought it could have been Harry Molson with his two miraculous shipwreck escapes. Do you think that man, whoever he was, was thrown overboard or was buried at sea by the Mackay-Bennett, as Mike proposed above? Do you agree with the possibility that the man could have been Henry B. Harris too? You are correct in saying that Astor was maybe not crushed by the first funnel, but I think that if Astor was the man we talk of, certainly Mr Weikman would have recognized him. It is known that the colonel went each day for a shaving and he was shaved by Weikman hiself. Then, the night of the sinking, Astor shook hands with him. After that, Weikman swam to collapsible boat A and saw a man, probably very rich, at the bottom. Weikman did not know the man by name but remember that he shaved him in the C-deck barber shop the same morning. My first though was to Harris, but Molson seems to be a good possibility too. I would like to know what you think of that now, Michael. Thanks for your message. Regards, Charles [/QUOTE]
