Whilst downing one too many Amber Nectars this evening, my mind wandered to the Titanic. As you do.
I recall reading in "Titanic
estination Disaster" that the wheelhouse structure has been "eaten down to a nub" by the undersea organisms. At the time, I accepted this.
But then, later on in the year "Discovery of the Titanic" was released. Also released was Dr.Pellegrino's downblast theory. This got me thinking tonight:
The wooden structure in front ot the telemotor on the wheelhouse is more or less the same as it was when first photographed in 1986. This means to me that the undersea organisms hadn't paid it too much attention - contradicting the Eaton and Haas theory.
If the downblast theory is correct, then how come the telemotor wasn't blasted away? Alternately, if the wheelhouse was blown away on the way to the bottom, how come the telemotor alone survived? The rest of the bridge instruments survived. Its been said that the falling firt funnel knocked them away, but I have my doubts about that...
The walls of the officers quarters, most notably Captain Smith's bathroom, opened up allowing one to view the rooms, as if a giant fist had stamped them down onto the boat deck. If the downblast theory is true, why wasn't the whole of the officers quarters flattened too?
Off to bed
