Titanic (2012 miniseries)
Titanic is a four-part television miniseries period drama written by Julian Fellowes based on the sinking of the RMS "Titanic", a passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, United Kingdom, to New York City, United States.
Legends and myths regarding RMS Titanic
The root of this claim comes from the testimony of one of the "Samson"'s officers, Hendrik Bergethon Naess, who told a Norwegian newspaper in 1912 that his ship had been near a large liner with "many lights" shooting rockets into the sky the morning of April 15th. Because the "Samson" was seal hunting illegally in territorial waters, the ship's officers decided to move on quickly to avoid detection. This claim seems unlikely as the Titanic was 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, well beyond territorial waters in 1912. The ship had no radio, so they wouldn't have received any of the "Titanic"s distress signals. Naess claimed that the crew only became aware of the "Titanic"s sinking after they arrived in Isafjordur, Iceland in mid-May. If correct, the coordinates of "Samson" place her within 10 miles of "Titanic"s position as the ship was sinking. .
