[QUOTE="Pearson Ramsay, post: 73226, member: 143246"] The fact that Mrs.Smith was the only eye witness to see the "flares" says a lot. Many witnesses on ships came forward claiming to see the Titanic that night; the Samson, the Victorian and so on. Faulty memories, or just a mischievious desire for publicity explain these spurious sightings. The New York Times article makes it clear that she had been stuck in fog on the 16th; it she was also stuck in fog on the 17th, this would explain her date of arrival. Also, the New York Times says that this was the Donaldson line ship. Finally, "The Rescue" shows the Titanic firing flares with the Carpathia in the foreground. No one on the Carpathia claimed to have seen the the distress signals on that ship. [/QUOTE]

In which year did the Titanic sail?
