it was in 1912 when they could not even get down to the titanic.
But John Jacob Astors Son wanted to fill the titanic with ping pong balls and let it raise that way so he could recover his farthers body or a propper funeral but when his body was found this plan was abandoned Astor's body was recovered on Monday April 22 by the cable ship McKay-Bennett (#124): NO. 124 - MALE - ESTIMATED AGE 50 - LIGHT HAIR & MOUSTACHE CLOTHING - Blue serge suit; blue handkerchief with "A.V."; belt with gold buckle; brown boots with red rubber soles; brown flannel shirt; "J.J.A." on back of collar. EFFECTS - Gold watch; cuff links, gold with diamond; diamond ring with three stones; £225 in English notes; $2440 in notes; £5 in gold; 7s. in silver; 5 ten franc pieces; gold pencil; pocketbook. FIRST CLASS NAME-J.J.ASTOR Can you imagine this ever working tho there were many many other ideas in 1912 about how to raise the ship. |
