A Norwegian research vessel has found "a new generation of survivors" living on (in?) Titanic's wreck. Following up on WWN's previous report: September 2005 Survivors' Descendants Alive in Wreck of survivors still on board, the Norwegians not only saw "pale-skinned people" wearing tattered clothing made from drapes and carpets, but they also saw babies in cradles fashioned from hanging planters. When reached by wireless, Joe O'Hara (great-great-grandson of third-class passengers Max and Jill O'Hara) told the researchers that they had expected a return visit quite a while ago. "I mean, it has been a year-and-a-half. Did you bring chocolate?"
When offered passage to the surface, O'Hara declined, saying that he preferred to remain where he felt safe, rather than risk the "greed, wars, disease and far worse: your intolerance toward anyone or anything of a different culture" that he'd experience above. Promised a return visit soon, O'Hara told the departing researchers that in addition to chocolate, the wreck's residents needed diapers. "They're really tough to keep dry down here."
At least for now, a picture of the cover of this spectacular issue of WWN appears here.
