Interview with Bill Muller

I have removed "* Audio tape interview by Lyle Bebensee of the last male survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, Bill Muller." from the See Also section. The last male survivor of Titanic is Michel Marcel Navratil. No "Bill Muller" appears on crew or passenger lists; the closest is a Ludwig Müller, who did not survive. The interview also has certain inconsistencies. Roches (talk) 03:40, 17 May 2017 (UTC) [Fixed red link] Roches (talk) 05:05, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20081208180845/http://www.usps.org/national/ensign/uspscompass/compassarchive/compassv1n1/hypothermia.htm to http://www.usps.org/national/ensign/uspscompass/compassarchive/compassv1n1/hypothermia.htm
Corrected formatting/usage for http://www.marconiusa.org/history/titanic.htm

Fire weakening bulkheads

The section "Atlantic crossing" states: "Fortunately, the fire was over on 14 April.[133][134]" (the second ref doesn't work for me). However, a documentary shown on Australian television in August or September 2017 claims on the basis of newly discovered photos that the heat of the fire had so distorted and cracked at least one bulkhead that it collapsed under the weight of incoming water. It also claims that most of the originally engaged stokers refused to sail. It blames the owners for proceeding with the voyage, despite knowing of the fire, rather than face the embarrassment of a delayed departure. The documentary is reported by several media, including CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2017/01/02/europe/titanic-fire-new-picture/index.htm. Wikiain (talk) 14:22, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ship portholes

The first image of the ship has different looking portholes than all the other photos and diagrams of the ship. Is it actually the correct ship?
