Rascals were in cities, I was mainly on tribal land living in native villages, so I had no problems. The scuba gear I used wasn't mine, it belonged to expats business and they knew their way around.

Other than that, just the usual NSW wrecks along the coast. ...I have seen the inside secret footage of that Nipponese mini sub off the Sydney north coastline though

Very interesting clip.
Definitely a missing piece to the overall story.

Imagine seeing ghostly blue-white bodies floating everywhere in a cold dark sea with icy mist hovering over. Pelagic Oceanic White-tip sharks in their hundreds (as they would have been back then), making the bodies dip up and down with each bite taken from below. So many bodies, you couldn't take them all and many you had to slide down the planck back into the cold darkness to sink to the great depths where burial is nothing more than your shoes remaining.

That’s exactly what happened, now we know.
They only retrieved bodies if they were dressed wealthy looking.
Amazing story about that little unknown boy until recent DNA were able to put a name to him.
Glad you watched the clip Jasin. Yes it does cover that missing piece of what happened after.
The sinking of the Titanic is a story that keeps on revealing.

It refused to say that only the wealthy looking were retrieved as they were likely fleeced of any expensive jewellery upon them to cover costs, naturally or to be pocketed.

In the cold and distant ocean at night in middle of a icy mist ghosts of drowned long ago come up to curse living who happen to sail by.
In the morning the ghosts quietly sink to the bottom embraced by the ocean and greeted with ringing waves.
Their curses are terrible but powerless to the mariner who is steady and focused on coming day.

There’s so much shock and tragedy, death and grief that night, I’m not surprised there are restless spirits there. The all round terror and screams are hardly a nice peaceful way to die.

What has recently astounded and puzzled me, is the fact not all women and children were put in the lifeboats to be saved.
That unknown baby at the time, his whole family died that night.
Here is a photo of them all…

This Class system was even used by the different levels of poor over more poorer. It was considered acceptable by all. ...as you can see. This economic Class system doesn't go far these days like it used to. It sank with the Titanic.
