50 Images From The Titanic You Have To See To Believe

A prankster left a Note at Frederick Fleet’s Memorial

One theory that circulated during investigations into the circumstances that surrounded the sinking of the Titanic is that the ship could have evaded collision if the lookouts had binoculars. The lookout that saw the iceberg was Frederick Fleet (pictured); he, unfortunately, took his own life years after surviving the sinking.

The binocular saga was revisited many years later at his memorial when a prankster yanked away a memorial wreath on his gravestone and left behind a pair of binoculars and a note that read sorry for bringing these 100 years too late.
