This was a comment from "BerlinWallCrosser", and I thought it was something worthwhile we should dig on. First I'd heard of it!!
Posting now because I'm headed out for the day and wanted to get some eyes on this. If true, this is MASSIVE. Berlin said we could verify the number of states - so perhaps y'all would like to pick this ball up and run with it? ;)
Submersible photography established that the hull number on the sunken ship's propellers was 401....which was the Titanic's hull number. The propellers weighed 32 tons apiece and could not have been exchanged except in dry dock. Kindly set aside these conspiracy hobby horses. They don't ride well or long.
