I happen to notice in today’s Wall Street Journal a listing and story for a Titanic documentary airing on PBS Nov. 4, 10pm. Maybe more on the ship that did not respond. Interstingly, the article states the ship was US owned. Dont know if I had forgotten that or not, but i thought it was British. Probably bc if flew the British flag.
Show title, “Abandoning the Titanic” in the PBS series, “Secrets of the Dead”…
It’s a little complicated. The ship was owned by and flew the flag of the White Star Line, which was a British Company. That company in turn, along with a group of other shipping companies;was controlled by a conglomerate called International Mercantile Marine Company. That was a Trust run by J.P. Morgan.

Ahhh. I love it. Tks! Wm
Just saw an advert on the History channel that the Titanic will be the subject of this weekend’s episode of *History’s Greatest Mysteries (*or something like that). It is the show hosted by Lawrence Fishburne. Not PBS, but eh, something. FYI
