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.
