First of all let me clarify that it is "Fine Arts" who claim to have the most accurate model of the Titanic not "White Ensign" And if think they will ask for help forget it! They even blew off Ken Marschall.
The big Titanic craze is over. The only ones who care are the real Titanic buffs. Rest assured Dr. Ballard will get a set of the plans eventually. I'm sure The doctor would love to sit and chat Titanic but he is busy making money on new finds. I'll get a hold of him eventually.
As for Tulloch, I feel those people are to stuck on themselves to come down to our level even if the truth smacks them in the face. Maybe I am wrong but we will see. It still pisses me off that they never even bothered to answer my mailings to them. At least Woods Hole gave me the time of day and actually will be assisting me in the near future. The subject of Titanic and those who really care about the actual ship herself are a limited bunch. It's not like marketing software. There's to many people trying to capitalize on the subject. It is very hard to get in the circle with all the egos flying around.
I have some things up my sleeve to get these plans out there into the real world Doug. "Build it and they will come"
