Posted At 23:06:32 10/03/2000 She sank in much the same way the Andrea Doria met her demise some fifty years later, and in nearly the identical location - in a collision in a thick fog, in the main shipping traffic lanes, 50 miles South of Nantucket Island - the story's all here, in the website. |

Posted At 00:02:48 11/12/2000 What is the condition of the wreck itself? Is it pretty devasted or very well preserved? Will you post any photographs of the wreck itself on your website? I find these images to be fascinating and haunting at the same time. Sunken liners like the Republic are a time capsule of an era that we never had a chance to see, the era of the great liners. |
