Titanic Memorial Plaques


One hundred years ago, April 10th, a relative of mine from the small town Addergoole, in County Mayo, Ireland, boarded the RMS Titanic to begin a new life in America. As fate would have it, my relative never made it to America as he perished on the ship. However, before the ship went down, he assisted many women and children who were trapped below deck in third class escape to the precious few life boats.

The Grassy Knoll Institute salutes him.

Iceberg That Sank Titanic Located

Titanic Iceberg Located
Iceberg That Sank Luxury Liner Titanic In 1912 Found
While on a routine patrol in the atlantic ocean, the USS Grassy Knoll navy explorer located the iceberg that sank the Titanic.

The Navy ship was mapping icebergs as they made their slow migration into shipping lanes making them dangerous to older ships not equipped with modern sonar and technology. One of the Ensigns on watch spotted a rusty looking object jutting out from one of the icebergs. The ship moved in as close as it could and then Navy Seals were sent in recovery rafts to inspect and retrieve the metal object.

It was flown to Patterson Air Force base and Navy forensics experts determined it was a sheered off piece of the outer hull plating of the ill fated maiden voyage of the Titanic.
