  1. $5 to $18 Million depending on age & amenities. AT A TIME LIKE THIS, OWNER WISHES HE BOUGHT A BOSTON WHALER (unsinkable foam inserts BUT they don’t make them that large). Vessel lean was starboard & stern. AND SO Prop seal failure OR
    Engine(S) problem, OR Rough Seas, Wave swamp caused taking on water. Could have used some water tight hatches & doors; but hey, why clutter it up ?? I guess it’s not all caviar, champagne, & super models. Insurance or insurance job ??
    (some typos corrected)

  2. She was a beauty!
    …Was anyone elce looking for Jack and Rose hanging off that bow railing?
    Happy the passengers and crew were rescued.

    1. @Shawn Patterson// My Titanic soundtrack story, I was in Alaska fishing for Halibut (outfitter group in Alumiweld 28′, twin engine outboards) near Hubbard Glacier. Well with that music playing and ICE CUBES IN THE BATH TUB (water), the ice swarmed the ship AS IF if it had a mind of its own. // Of course the Guide noticed a couple minutes later, but the engines would not start right away. Ten additional minutes later we would be completely ice locked. THERE IS NO ICE CUTTER & Coast Guard Chopper would be coming from hours away. // Guide got motors started & steered back & forth to create more & more room to maneuver. This was in June to August months. Even then you think of exposure, if trapped overnight & colder weather.
