1. I call BS.
2. Ballard is a notorious gas bag within the research community.
3. Scorpion sunk near the Azores a long way from the Titanic.
4. Thresher did sink off New England and one could argue it is on the way to Titanic. But....

This is one of the most poorly kept secrets around. I heard Ballard talk at the Mystic Marinelife Aquarium when I was living in New London and he mentioned the stop by the Scorpion at the time. It's not mentioned in his book, but it's never really been a secret.

The Navy found Scorpion in 1968 and dove on it with the Trieste II.
