Titanic Ship Legend Now Confirmed

Legend has it, the Titanic’s stokers shoveled coal into boilers even as the ship sank. This allowed the ship to keep the lights on for as long as possible. Digital scans taken by underwater robots appear to confirm this legend. Views of the boiler room show some of them are concave, which suggests they were still in use when they hit the ice-cold waters. Titanic analyst Parks Stephenson said the men in the boiler rooms gave the crew time to save lives by keeping the lights on. “They held the chaos at bay as long as possible,” Stephenson said. (newser)
