What ever happened to that ship? Was it scraped? I hope it didn’t go the way many other Iconic examples of fine engineering have been known to go. I think I read somewhere how parts of it have been found at different scrap yards in India.

A few years ago at Dayton, a vendor gave me, for hauling it away,  the corroded remains of some old piece of a military transmitter, built about 1930.  It looked as though it had been sitting in a damp cellar ever since then.  As I was lugging it through the parking area to the car, some kid, about 15 or 16, asked me what it was.  I told him it was part of the radio apparatus from the Titanic, that had been brought up to the suface when they were salvaging for artifacts, but that they decided a piece of radio equipment was of no historic value and that one of the guys working there was a ham and took it home.  I went on to explain that the guy who took it let another ham have it, who brought it to the fleamarket, and that I bought it from him.

The kid appeared to really believe me.  His eyes expanded to the size of walnuts.  He was so excited about this that I didn't have the heart to tell him it was only a joke, so he probably left Dayton thinking he had actually seen a part of the Titanic's wireless station.
