I have read that, I believe in one of Walter Lord's books maybe. One of the suspect fishing boats was proven to be thousands of miles away at the time.
I thought the Californian claimed they were unaware it was the Titanic, but they did say they saw a ship appear to steam away. It was theorized that was actually the view of the Titanic sinking. But it could be the mystery ship.
If you're interested in sea disasters, there's a fantastic book about the mid-ocean collision between passenger liners the Andrea Doria and the Stockholm, in 1956. How they managed to collide is still a bit of a controversy based on running lights and passing laws. That book was a harrowing page-turner. I'm fascinated by books about disasters.
Since flooding is naturally consuming my thoughts right now, I might as well mention Washed Away, an incredibly detailed and compelling account of an unbelievable flood in 1913 that affected 11 states across the Midwest and killed hundreds of people. And, as a matter of coincidence, my people hail from Johnstown, PA, site of probably the most infamous flood in America, and there's no better account than David McCullogh's. Johnstown has suffered 3 catastrophic floods in its history, in 1889 when the dam broke, and then in 1936 and 1977 from torrential rain.
My family survived them all. And we're making it through this one in Houston, despite my aunt and uncle and cousin losing everything. Water isn't expected to recede from their neighborhood for THREE WEEKS, and then repairs will take months. They're going to be living between my house and my parents' house, though we tried desperately to get them temporarily into my late Grandfather's house that we are coincidentally about to close on, but the story about that is a rant for another time. I'll just say, there are still some shitty, shitty human beings in Houston without hearts.
I'm rambling. It's been an exhausting week here in Houston, and I'm blessed to be in my own bed.
