A quick google search of TITANIC web sights showed the TITANIC's ocean floor position to be in good agreement with the distress call latitude but not the longitude where there is a 20 minute discrepancy. What would explain this discrepancy best chronometer error or DR speed error? The water was very cold at the time so I doubt that the gulf stream was a factor. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
