Why would you assume I go to school, or that I am of school age? I did attend when I was younger, but I left school years ago.

You mean the information about the binoculars? I hope you found it interesting.

but there is a book called TITANIC&OLYMPIC, THE TRUTH BEHIND THE CONSPIRACY.. maybe you can buy it...

I saw the book’s text before it was published and helped with some of the research, so I don’t see much point in buying another copy.

Actually, people thought the Binoculars were left in South Hampton but they weren't left in South Hampton, People thought they were left and just saying I also Registered myself on this at school. I snook into the school library because the library has the only computers in the school, except the office, and signed myself up at a computer.

See my post above, where I said: ‘One regarded theory, based upon testimony, is that after David Blair (the ship's original second officer) left the ship, he neglected to inform anyone as to what he had done with the binoculars. It has been theorised that Blair left them locked in his cabin (which became Lightoller's). Lookout George Symons asked Lightoller about them, but Lightoller had a quick look in one of the officers' cabins (possibly Murdoch's) and could not find them -- apparently not looking in his own. Chief Officer Wilde confirmed to Symons that there were no binoculars for the lookouts. As I've said, there's more information in the enquiry transcripts and report, but we do know that the remaining officers appeared to be unaware of the location of any binoculars.’

I’d be interested in seeing any primary source evidence that indicates that the binoculars were actually taken ashore at Southampton and left there…There would be no reason to take them ashore in the first place, IMHO.

Best regards,

Mark.

If you're referring back to the what ifs, then...

The Marconi Company/or 1st Officer Murdoch should have strongly instructed Jack Phillips and Harold Bride that the iceberg warnings take priority over passengers' incoming/outgoing messages. For that was one area that needed improving.

Talking to Lights, my friend who is an reincarnatee of 2nd Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller, told me that had Will received those iceberg warnings as he should have...he would have posted them on the bulletin board.
