  1. Austin Garrison But that was an act of war so it's a bit different. The Russians hared the Germans and thought nothing of killing as many of them as possible. Still, both were terrible tragedies. You can add the Lusitania to that list.

  2. What a terrible tragedy. According to Jack Thayer, eye-witness to the sinking from a life boat, the tip of the bow protruded back out of the water momentarily after the ship split in two suggesting the bow didn't immediately head straight down to the bottom, but leveled off for a brief period of time before separating from the stern and heading to the ocean floor. Thayer drew of sketch of what he saw. It appears in one of the older books on the sinking. It may have been in "The Story Of The Wreck Of The Titanic" published in 1914 or maybe in Walter Lord's "A Night To Remember." There was no doubt the ship broke in two when sinking. Charles Lightoller lied on the witness stand when he stated the ship sank intact. This misinformation was not debunked for the record until the wreck was discovered.

  3. You could be right about that bu it occurred to me perhaps when the ship broke in two the force pushed the tip of the bow momentarily out of the water. There is no doubt the ship broke in two. 700 people sitting in lifeboats saw it. Lightoller lied on the witness stand thaa the ship didn't break up.
