But like you say one wonders why they will not come clean even the recent expeditions like Oceaneering in the 80's who say they have no records now. If you were a big company like them and did this historic/controversial expedition would you not save ALL your records? Hmmmmm! They,Oceaneerings Glascow office was reported to have been refused permission to return to the site for a U.S. Movie Companies plan to do a film. Also correct me if I am wrong but if one goes back to when Ballard was "planning" his expedition to the Lusitania did he not say in words something to the effect that he knew and was going to find the proof that the ships was armed and blow the whistle on the Brits? Yet when he got there he pulled a John Kerry and flipped sides??? More and more Hmmmm! He said he didn't see any big hole as the ship was collapsed. But it was not collapsed when Oceaneering was there and they say the hole as did John Light. Well going to see if I can find a Golf Club. Cheers and take care Jon [/QUOTE]
