-No. That's false I do believe. What experts have said 4-8 miles away? I'd like to see some facts on that. The link I posted goes through a lot of details on where they lie and none leans towards anything that close.

-Yes, they could see each other's lights, we've been through that.

-Why didn't Lord wake Evans? Probably because Stone told him only of one rocket and not they were throwing stars. He never suggested distress even though he may have felt it. Perhaps if he was more convincing and descriptive, Lord would have came to the bridge or had Evans woken to investigate on the "white rockets." It wasn't until Stewart suggested to do so after 5am that Evans was woken.

-You believe it was rightfully so that they should have been make a scapegoat? Do you know what a scapegoat is? That means they are being blaming in place of others mistakes and wrong doings. Like instead of blaming the Board of Trade for not having enough boats or the White Star Line for not conducting boat drills or propaganda of saying she was "unsinkable." They instead claimed "Lord and the officers on the Californian could have saved most or all lives." So people believed that instead of finding fault on The Board of Trade. It probably in Lord Mersey's stupid mind, suited much better to blame Lord than ruin several Board of Trade's members reputations.

-And Lord served on the Lawther Latta from 1913 to 1927 as a captain where he retired a wealthy man. I have no idea where you gathered that information from that he never made captain again.
