Dr. Ballard will be publishing, as I understand, a twenty page response to the controversial letter and questions posed by Captain Nargeolet in an upcoming issue of the Commutator, journal of the Titanic Historical Society. No copy was offered as a counterpoint to TIS journal, Voyage. This coming Thursday, the controversy will be explored in a column of the New London Day by veteran columnist Steve Slosberg who will explore the usual ground in addition to the disputed "non-profit" status of The Institute for Undersea Exploration in Mystic, and the involvement of former governor Lowell Weicker with the Ballard Omnimedia. Should be interesting reading. The Nargeolet letter may be found on the TIS website, hopefully the Ballard rebuttal will be made available to all.
