Chapter 682 The strange legend of the legendary cruise ship
When it comes to the Titanic ship, Charlotte really knows a lot.
After all, I didn’t study hard at school and just thought about these strange stories.
The Titanic sinks, and there are many speculations and illusions.
Some conspiracy theorists claimed that it was the owner of the Titanic at that time, White Star Steam Company, who conspired to create this disaster and defrauded huge insurance funds.
Some people suspect that some people manipulate this disaster and artificially create major economic fluctuations!
Because there were many rich and elites from Britain and the United States on the ship at that time. Once some negative news leaked, the entire stock market would have huge ups and downs, and naturally there would be great benefits to absorb! So someone set up a shocking overall situation in this matter.
There is some evidence for both statements.
For example:
The recruitment of crews was only four days before departure, and many skills and new ship operations were not trained.
The crew on board didn't know how to use the folding lifeboat, because no one believed that they would get it.
Only one telescope was prepared, which was crucial to navigation safety. It was locked in the cabinet by the second pair, which resulted in the crew in the watchtower being able to observe the iceberg with naked eyes... The second pair did not get on the ship...
About 55 top wealthy people canceled their boarding plans a few days before departure. Some people speculated that they received internal news...
There is another saying that the rivets on the bow are made of unqualified defective products. This led to the rapid sinking of the Titanic after hitting the iceberg. Otherwise, the IQ would last until the rescue arrived, so many people would not die. I heard that it was the conclusion after the test of the rivets on the remains of the Titanic.
No matter what, there are many doubts about this matter.
And after the accident, the public opinion began to have a melee. At that time, almost no reports were accurate, and there was a suspicion of being wronged.
At that time, it was said that women and children should get on the lifeboat first.
But in fact, among the first few lifeboats launched, not only women and children were rescued, but almost half of the male rescued people accounted for, and almost all male passengers in the first class cabin.
According to some passenger records retained and later generations, at that time, there were 319 passengers in the first class of the Titanic, 200 survived, with a surviving rate of 63%; there were 269 passengers in the second class, 117 survived, with a surviving rate of 43%; there were 699 passengers in the third class, with a 172 survived, with a surviving rate of 25%.
If it is true that "let women and children get on the boat first", it may be that there are more women and children in the upper class?
...
What else: Captain Smith, who finally locked himself in the cockpit, lived and died with the ship, the band that was still performing when the ship was sunk, and the fearlessness of several first-class male passengers, etc.
These stories fictionalize a noble scene, which deeply touched the Americans and the British for their lofty racial image. In particular, they portrayed all the American rich and politicians in the first class into great heroes.
This made everyone calmly reach an ancient verdict and no one was responsible, but no one was required to do so.
Therefore, the whole thing is quite suspicious of soft articles. Some people want to buy good things so that people can accept this disaster more easily.
Afterwards, we can learn from the survivor's story that from the captain to the sailor, they were all drunk. Although they received constant warnings for floating ice, the captain still increased their speed.
For White Star Steam Company, this is an absolute scandal related to the company's reputation caused by the crew's criminal negligence. It is an absolute blow to White Star Company, and they must take action.
So, if this is a crisis public relations after a disaster, it might be possible to "good things to make good things" in order to "be bad things."
Moreover, the Titanic itself is very legendary.
First, during the construction of the Titanic, 246 people were injured, 28 of them seriously injured; 6 people died in accidents on the boat platform, 2 people died in work sheds and processing sites, and 1 person was killed by wood falling from high altitude before going into the water.
A true curse ship!
There is another very strange situation:
In 1898, British writer Morgan Robertson wrote a book called "Futility".
It writes about a luxurious giant ship that never sinks, called the Titan, which sails from Britain to the United States across the ocean.
This is an unprecedentedly huge and most luxurious passenger ship in the history of human navigation. The ship is equipped with all the luxurious facilities within its ability at that time. The ship is loaded with rich passengers, and people enjoy it on this giant ship. However, the giant ship hit an iceberg on its first flight and sank tragically, and many passengers were buried at the bottom of the sea.
No one expected that this story would become an unfortunate reality fourteen years later!
On the night of April 15, 1912, the largest luxury liner at that time sank due to crashing into an iceberg.
After the tragedy, someone remembered this article and found that in addition to the almost identical names of the ships, there were many extremely similarities between the two: both ships sank when they first set sail, and the reason was that they hit an iceberg. The accident site was both in the North Atlantic Ocean. Both ships sailed in April, and the routes were from the UK to the United States.
The number of passengers and crew members written by the "Titan" is 3,000, while the number of passengers and crew members of the "Titanic" is nearly 3,000; the Titan envisions weight of 70,000 tons, and the actual weight of the Titanic is 66,000 tons; the length of the Titan is 800 feet, and the length of the Titanic is slightly more than 880 feet; the number of spirals on both ships is three, and the speed of the collision of the iceberg is 23 knots; the reason for the heavy casualties of passengers after the accident of the two ships is because the lifeboats on the ship are insufficient...
What else can we say?
Maybe this writer is a prophet who sees the picture of the future?
Another story is: On September 24, 1990, a trawler sailed in the North Atlantic Ocean. About 360 kilometers southwest of Iceland, Captain Carl suddenly discovered a figure on an iceberg nearby.
He raised his telescope to look at the figure and found a woman killed on the iceberg making a gesture of help, who was dressed very outdated.
When she was rescued on board, the captain asked her about her personal data and the reasons for her here. She actually replied: I am a passenger on the Titani, named Vinny Cotter, who is 29 years old. When the ship sank just now, it was pushed to the iceberg by a huge wave. Fortunately, your ship arrived and saved me.
And later I found out that she was in a normal state. In addition to the frightened shipwreck, the blood and hair test also proved that she was indeed about 30 years old. What happened?
I have disappeared in 1912 and there is no sign of aging at all? And there is indeed Mrs. Court on the passenger list of Titani...
This incident happened less than a year. On August 9, 1991, a European scientific ocean inspection boat found a man in his 60s sitting on an iceberg 387 kilometers southwest of Iceland.
He wore the captain's uniform from the beginning of this century, quietly sucked his pipe and looked at the sea with his eyes.
But who would have thought that he was Captain Smith Smith, who sank in the Atlantic Ocean 80 years ago, who was rescued from the scientific investigation ship and was immediately sent to Oslo.
In the hospital, after careful examination by the famous psychiatric psychologist Dr. Yu Lante, he thought that his physiological and psychological state were normal.
The head of the scientific expedition ship, the famous oceanographer Dr. Aidlan and the pathologist Dr. Harrante, held a press conference on August 18, 1991, to announce to the European press:
The fingerprints, photo verification and navigation records of the British maritime agency show that the old man rescued is indeed Captain Smith, who is now in his 140s...
Later, because of this incident, some people proposed the assumption of the space-time tunnel. After the shipwreck, some people were involved in the space-time tunnel...
But someone asked again: What about that boat? Didn’t the boat travel along with it?
The facts have proved that the ship also traveled through time. It was just traveling through time to Charlotte...
No matter what, the regret of this Titanic is also a big treasure.
Although it is broken into two pieces now, it still has extremely high value!
You should know that the Liaoning has a displacement of 67,000 tons and a total length of 306 meters, which is only a little larger than the Titanic!
This is a small aircraft carrier! Even if it is dismantled and recycled steel, it is a great asset!
Of course, that's just the worst plan, and Charlotte has other options to choose from.
For example, as the system says, transform it into a huge ghost ship!
For example, transformed into a space aircraft carrier like S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Avengers!
And maybe after repairing, this ship can become a ship girl?!
Value! It’s so worth it! The value of these 500 destiny points!
Charlotte felt that this ship could be rescued! It must be rescued!
