UM-Bot Posted November 25, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2015 New evidence suggests that the Freemasons were heavily involved in the investigation in to the disaster. Surprisingly few people were ultimately held accountable for the sinking of the Titanic on April 15th 1912 - an event generally regarded as one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history.

Eldorado Posted November 25, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) More chance of the riggers who worked on her rigging an inquiry than masons, I reckon. Edited November 25, 2015 by Eldorado 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted November 25, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Huh. I have always held a position that the captain of the Titanic was ultimately responsible for not avoiding the tragedy (or appropriately training his crew to be aware of the massive underwater threat imposed by an iceberg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarjarbinks Posted November 25, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 25, 2015 #4 Read carefully, it's not that the freemason were behind the incident , but that they rigged the inquiry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted November 25, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Weren't like 90% of the wealthy men in England at the time part of the Masons? A large number of Masons were involved because the population held a large number of Masons. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Cooper Merrin Posted November 26, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I would go as far to say that every 3rd gentleman you meet will be a brother, its logical that there would be many involved in the titanic case.... every single case thats ever happened for that matter! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSot Posted November 26, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Eh, not with dropping attendence. Off hand, of the many people I've met very few have been Freemasons.

Most don't even know how to join if they wanted to due to bad media portrayal. Of the many people you have met, how many were around in 1912? Times have changed, but I doubt in those days it would have made any difference if they were freemasons or not, the rich elite would have made sure they did not get the blame no matter what they were part of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlitterRose Posted November 26, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 26, 2015 What could have possibly been the motive for such a rigging? It's pretty clear what happened. The boat hit an iceberg. How exactly do you fudge that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly do you fudge that? There were a number of bad decisions and short cuts that went into making the Titanic, some either possibly caused the sinking or sped up the sinking, or increased the death toll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, obviously, if they had enough life boats, they wouldn't have had so many deaths. I just don't know what anyone on shore could have done about them hitting an iceberg. They weren't steering the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSot Posted November 28, 2015 #23 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Investors and contractors sould have been an issue. Training, hiring of officers, a number of things came together that could be laid at the feet of White Star and tgeir investors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelling Man Posted November 29, 2015 #25 Share Posted November 29, 2015 As a retired member of an organization that is responsible for the investigation of such incidents, including the International Ice Patrol, I've read reports and studies and after-action-reviews of all the findings and evidence. From what I've read, all the seriously negligent parties were on the ship that night - and are still on it, today. It was bad design (but standard for the day), poor communications between damage control crews and the bridge, significantly worse damage than initially reported, and crap communication with the passengers after the allision. She was outfitted with life-boats capable of holding 50% of the passengers and crew - which was both standard for the day, AND ridiculous - at least considering that she was supposedly "unsinkable." And the Californian always received the brunt of the blame for the aftermath - since she saw the flares (thought they were fireworks), and got repeated SOS messages - which were ignored as the SS Californian Captain assumed they were in jest. This article (and study) is lazy and uses nothing but conjecture to make its points. Poor journalism. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
