Yiikes. I never thought of that - of course - the fake Titanic
survivors must have been planted  by J. P. Morgan as part of the
cover up. Hmm.

Venus wouldn't have been visible at 10:30, since it was at
Western Elongation (in the morning sky, west of the Sun).  I
think that I checked its location in the early morning hours, 2
or 3 AM, when it would have been visible at the horizon for
people in boats.

You must be working on a book about the boat?
