Yes hubby and I just saw a commercial for a blue heart necklace made from coal salvaged from the wreck site. Just seems wrong to me.
I read a theory about the port holes. Most all of them were open when Ballard first discovered her. It's said that is why she sank fairly as quick as she did...and it was mysterious as to why all of them were open. I guess people were curious and opened them up for a glance at the iceberg? So many mistakes but i guess it was fate. I also read about bribes for the lifeboats went on--that a wealthy Count had bribed certain officers for a lifeboat for he and his wife only.
