Chapter 686 The Strange Legend of the Legendary Cruise Ship

Speaking of the ship Titanic, Charlotte really knows a lot.

After all, I didn't study hard when I was in school, so I just pondered over these anecdotes.

There are many speculations and illusions about the sinking of the Titanic.

Some conspiracy theorists claim that the White Star Shipping Company, the owner of the Titanic at the time, conspired to create the disaster and defrauded huge insurance money.

There are also people who suspect that someone manipulated this disaster to artificially create big economic fluctuations!

Because there were many rich men and elites from Britain and the United States on board at that time, once any negative news came out, the entire stock market would have huge ups and downs, and there were naturally huge benefits to be absorbed!So someone set up a shocking overall situation in this matter.

There is some evidence for both claims.

For example:

Four days before departure, the crew began to be recruited, and many skills and operations of the new ship were not trained.

The crew on board did not know how to use the collapsible lifeboat because no one believed it would be used.

Only one telescope is prepared for the safety of navigation.And was locked in the cabinet by the second officer.As a result, the crew in the watchtower could only observe the iceberg with naked eyes... The second officer did not board the ship...

There are about 55 top rich people who have canceled their boarding plans a few days before departure.Some people speculated that they got inside information...

There is also a theory that the rivets on the bow are substandard and defective.This led to the rapid sinking of the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.Otherwise, if the IQ can persist until the rescue arrives, so many people will not die.It is said that the rivets from the remains of the Titanic were salvaged and concluded after testing.

In any case, the matter is suspicious.

And after the accident, the public opinion circles began a scuffle.Almost none of the reports at the time were accurate, and they were suspected of covering up mistakes.

At that time, it was said that women and children should get on the lifeboat first.

But in fact, in the first few lifeboats that were launched, not only women and children were rescued, men accounted for almost half of the rescued, and almost all of them were first-class male passengers.

According to some passenger records preserved and calculations by latecomers, there were 319 passengers in the first-class cabin of the Titanic at that time, 200 people survived, and the survival rate was 63%; there were 269 passengers in the second-class cabin, 117 people survived. The rate was 43%; there were 699 passengers in the third class, 172 survived, and the survival rate was 25%.

If it is true to say "women and children get on board first", then maybe there are more women and children in upper class?

……

What else: finally locked himself in the cockpit, Captain Smith who lived and died with the ship, the band that was still performing when the ship sank, and the bravery of several first-class male passengers, etc.

These stories conjured up a sublime scene that moved Americans and Britons alike by the sublime image of their race.In particular, they portrayed the first-class American rich and dignitaries as heroes.

This made everyone calmly reach an old judgment in the end-no one is responsible, but the next one is not an example.

Therefore, the whole matter is quite suspicious of soft text.Some people want to make it easier for people to accept this disaster through this way of buying.

It can be learned from the survivors' narration afterwards that everyone from the captain to the sailors was in a state of drunkenness.Although ice floe warnings were constantly received, the captain still increased his speed.

For the White Star Shipping Company, this was an out-and-out scandal involving the company's reputation caused by the criminal negligence of the crew.It was an out-and-out blow to Baixing Company, and they had to take action.

So, if this is a post-disaster crisis public relations, it might be for the sake of "turning a bad thing into a good thing".

And the Titanic itself is legendary.

First of all, during the construction of the Titanic, 246 people were injured, 28 of whom were seriously injured; 6 people died in accidents on the berth, 2 people died in the shed and processing plant, and 1 person was smashed by falling wood before launching die.

A veritable ship of the curse!

There is also a very strange situation:

In 1898, the British writer Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called "In vain".

The novel describes an unsinkable luxury ship named Titan, which sails from England to America on the other side of the ocean on its maiden voyage.

This is the unprecedentedly huge and most luxurious passenger ship in the history of human navigation. The ship is equipped with all the luxury facilities that were available at that time, and the ship is full of rich passengers. People enjoy themselves on this huge ship.However, on its first voyage, the ship hit an iceberg and sank tragically, killing many of its passengers.

No one would have thought that this story would become an unfortunate reality 14 years later!

On the night of April 1912, 4, the largest luxury liner at the time, the Titanic, sank after hitting an iceberg.

After the tragedy happened, someone thought of this novel and found that apart from the almost identical names of the two ships, there were many similarities between the two: both ships sank on their first voyage, the reason was that they hit an iceberg, and the accident happened in different places. In the North Atlantic, the two ships sailed in April, and the routes were from the United Kingdom to the United States.

The number of passengers and crew on the "Titan" is 3000, and the number of passengers and crew on the "Titanic" is nearly 3000; the assumed weight of the Titan is 7 tons, and the actual weight of the Titanic is 6 tons; The length of the Titan is 6 feet, and the length of the Titanic is slightly more than 800 feet; the number of propellers of both ships is three, and the speed of the collision with the iceberg is 880 knots; the reason for the heavy casualties of the passengers after the accidents of the two ships is all because of the Not enough lifeboats...

What else can we say?

Perhaps the writer was a seer and saw images of the future?

Another story is: On September 1990, 9, a trawler was sailing in the North Atlantic Ocean. About 24 kilometers southwest of Iceland, the captain Karl suddenly found a figure on a nearby iceberg.

He raised the binoculars to watch the figure, and found a distressed woman on the iceberg, who was dressed out of fashion.

When she was rescued on board, the captain asked her some personal information and the reason for being here, she even replied: I am a passenger on the Titanic, named Vinnie Court, 29 years old this year, when the ship sank just now, I was pushed onto an iceberg by a huge wave, but fortunately your boat arrived and rescued me.

And later it was found that she was in a normal state of mind. In addition to the shock of the shipwreck, blood and hair tests also proved that she was indeed about 30 years old.This is how the same thing?

Missing in 1912 until now, there is no sign of aging at all? !And there is indeed Mrs. Court on the passenger list of the Titanic...

在这件事发生不到一年。1991年8月9日，欧洲一个科学海洋考查船在冰岛西南387公里处，发现一座冰山上坐着一位60多岁的男子。

He was wearing a captain's uniform from the turn of the century, quietly smoking his pipe, and staring at the sea.

But who would have thought that he was the captain of the "Titanic" that sank in the Atlantic Ocean 80 years ago, Smith.Captain Smith was rescued aboard the scientific research ship and was immediately taken to Oslo.

In the hospital, Dr. Yu Lante, a well-known psychiatric psychologist, thought that everything was normal physically and mentally.

The person in charge of the scientific research vessel, the famous oceanographer Dr. Edlan and the pathologist Dr. Harant held a press conference on August 1991, 8, and announced to the European press:

The fingerprints, photo verification and voyage records of the British Maritime Agency show that the rescued old man is indeed Captain Smith. He is now more than 140 years old...

Later, because of this incident, some people put forward the hypothesis of a space-time tunnel.It is said that after the ship sank, some people were involved in the space-time tunnel...

But someone asked again: What about the boat?Didn't the ship cross with it?

It turns out: the boat crossed, too.It's just crossing over to Charlotte...

Anyway, this Titanic Regret is also a big treasure.

Although it is now broken into two pieces, it still has a very high value!

You know, the Liaoning has a displacement of 67000 tons and a total length of 306 meters, which is only a little bigger than the Titanic!

This is a small aircraft carrier!Even if it is dismantled and recycled steel, it is still a great wealth!

Of course, that was just the worst plan, and Charlotte had other options to choose from.

For example, as the system said, transform it into a huge ghost ship!

For another example, transform it into an aerospace aircraft carrier like SHIELD in the Avengers!

And maybe after repairing it, this ship can become a ship girl? !

Worth it!Simply worth it!The value of these 500 fate points!

Charlotte felt that the ship could still be salvaged!It must be rescued!
