A most careful and objective summary, if ever I've read one.

<Bows respectfully>

As I dug through the history, I noticed that a lot of things which seem horrible oversights to us weren't necessarily so, when put in the proper context. Obviously, there were certain events that were inexcusable, but those that weren't necessarily so, I wanted those to see the light of day. It's all about perspective.

Just in agreement, great article. Especially, in my opinion, teh thing about teh ship hitting teh iceberg head on. Because thats what everyone says when you mention teh Titanic. One (unreleated) question. The explorer of teh wreck, Dr Robert Ballard. isn't he the dame "Bob" Ballard who used to do teh annoying sea-facts at teh end of every first season episode of seaquest DSV? if so how teh mighty have fallen.
