I thought they tried to raise it but it's in the muck like 60 feet or something like that and it was too hard to get out.

No problem here, Betty. I think it's a shame that entire thing is mouldering and collapsing and there is [i:96964ea8a0]nothing[/i:96964ea8a0] being done about it.

Is that amazing or what? I remember a few years back hearing the whistle from someone's site or online somewhere. What a trip back in history?

This is why I am so convinced artifacts should be brought to the surface. We would not be able to enjoy this sound or know anything at all about the whistle, if it had not be recovered. I know a lot of you disagree, but this is just my opinion

Thanks, Tom, I was looking for that myself and couldn't find it.

On the website (bellow) you can listen to Titanc's whistle:

:D

I inagine partof that also was noise control - can you imagine [i:65ce8487a3]all[/i:65ce8487a3] those ships blowing their whistles at the same time?

Titanic's whistle was blown every noon to to tell other ships in the area that everything was well, except for that and in port the whstles were ony used to let other ships know of her position (or course) :D

They all are good possibilaties to why they did not blow the whistle.

Part of the answer has to do with when they were blowing it. Sound carries differently in cold, and at night, both of which mattered here. The rockets also supposedly could be heard a long way away but weren't, mostly due to the fact that sound actually falls in sharp cold, because of the induction currents in the air. So it simply can't carry far enough to make a diff. Also, they didn't know how far off that ship was.

There's also a good possibility no one thought of it. Probably the best answer of them all.

good question Betty, i haven't got a clue what the answer could be but im interested in knowing aswell
