A newly unearthed photo of the iceberg that may have sank the Titanic has come to light 112 years after the disaster.
The black and white image was captured by an undertaker working on the body recovery ship that arrived on the wreck site in the aftermath of the sinking.
It is now coming up for sale at Henry Aldridge & Son Auctioneers of Devizes, Wiltshire, for an estimated price of £4,000 to £7,000.

Titanic was going 22 knots; they should have been more careful.

not to mention it was last seen moving away with a huge Smirk on its face as if to say “bet you won’t drive so fast next time!”.

rudimentary jet ski maybe? it makes sense that the first boats to use jet ski technology would be the body collection boats. you want to move quickly on that body transporting stuff.

I guess we've lost the technology of hyper-speed ocean-going vessels.
