Legal obstacle removed to open Titanic, retrieve Marconi radio

The Magnetic detector used by Marconi receivers at that time was invented by Ernest Rutherford.

 

So many conspiracy theories have sprung up over the last century.

Many cancelled their trip due to "illness", but were then seen in good health the next day.

The Californian managed to get enough coal during a coal strike. But it's cargo was said to be a few hundred woollen jumpers. No passengers.
And it stopped for the night a few miles from the sinking & sent a message to Titanic to make captain Smith aware of that. Captain Lord also asked what colour the sockets were (although both movies show "rockets" being launched, Titanic carried no rockets, only sockets).

Yes many theories can be supported, but we will never know for certain if the sinking was about money.

But we are speculating all over again whether the Marconi salvage is about money.

 

I do not want to cross the politics line thus violating QRZ policy so I will end it with these facts. Anything more can be shared via email.

In 1898 a man named Morgan Robertson penned a book titled “Wreck of the Titan” about a luxury liner deemed unsinkable that was going too fast in the North Atlantic in April and hit and iceberg killing most everyone on board due to lack of lifeboats. Shortly after the TITANic sank, Morgan Robertson was poisoned to death.

Yes J.P. Morgan did cancel his voyage plans claiming to be sick, yet he was seen numerous times in public with his Mistress the day before and day of the voyage. Witnesses stated J.P. Morgan looked and acted perfectly healthy and did not mention feeling ill.
Oh how those mistresses can make an old man feel young and chipper again.

 

Yes all Titanic fans are aware of that book. Some asked if the author could predict the future. He brushed it off stating that it was simply fiction & he had done much research on ship's prior to writing the book.

But he died 3yrs after Titanic went down from an overdose of Paraldehyde.
I am (was) a registered nurse & am very familiar with Paraldehyde. We had to draw it up for administration using a "glass" syringe as it would "melt" a plastic syringe.

If he took that drug himself then he could only have done that for one reason as one would get no high from Paraldehyde. That drug was common in the psychiatric field back then.

Must admit. I have read of many conspirtory theories regarding that ship. But never the suggestion that that author had any involvement.
Perhaps there may be a puff of smoke, but l don't see any fire.

 

Thanks for that info. Very strong parallel to the Dean Koontz novel The Eyes of Darkness and today's COVID "stuff."

 

Since that Judge "deferred" her decision to permit this salvage operation, not a single US media source has reported that.
The only media source that mentions that deferral is Irish. Why is that?

This was an interesting article

There exists another Marconi 5kw spark gap transmitter identical to Titanic's set. This one is only 300ft down.
I have no idea if any more 5kw sets were ever fitted in any other ships. Perhaps someone who has done more research than l can advise.
But this one "is not" in international waters.

And the identical set to Titanic's can be found here
