Coal Fire, Not Just Iceberg, Doomed the Titanic, a Journalist Claims - The New York Times

'The photographs were discovered by a descendant of a director of the Belfast-based company, Harland and Wolff, that built the Titanic. '

'But in my view, the Titanic would have sunk anyways.”He added: “It amazes me how this ship still captures the global imagination. '

'Molony’s acquired the rare photographs of the ship, meticulously taken by Harland and Wolff’s engineering chief before it left a Belfast shipyard. '

'Molony called the photographs “the Titanic equivalent of Tutankhamen’s tomb,” because of the richness of historical detail they conveyed, including the mark highlighting the extent of the damage. '

'Molony said, they were shocked to discover a 30-foot-long diagonal black mark on the hull’s front starboard side, close to where the ship was pierced by the iceberg. '
