Message: [QUOTE="Andrea Cranford, post: 58275, member: 137510"] I usually never post, but I always read the articles and I thoroughly enjoyed your article. It was logically developed and well researched. I know that the issue of the Californian is a difficult one with very differing opinions from well-respected sources, but I do like the straightforward explanation you have given. It does seem to be the most obvious conclusion that the rockets seen from the Californian could only have come from the Titanic. I mean what are the odds that there could have been two ships in relatively close quarters sending up white rockets? (I think a person with a good grasp on math, like you, could probably figure it out.) This article clearly illustrates this fact. However, this leads to another question. In other articles on this website like, those by Senan Molony. The distance of the Californian from the Titanic is argued to be too far away. In that article it is rationalized that the Californian (headed for Boston) has neither reason nor ability to get as close to the Titanic (headed for New York) as necessary. I would love to know how these two ideas could be reconciled or even reasoned out. The merits of both arguments are so clear. It seems that some articles clear up one point while leaving the counterargument untouched. I just wish there could be a unified theory! Again, I appreciate the detailed research of your article.
