Here is a post from Mad_Fred that gives more details:

Iâ€™ll add that the cover story was that R/V Knorr spent the whole time out of WHOI searching for Titanic. After Ballard finished his Navy duties (He held a reserve commission, and the Navy paid for his toys), he found Titanic in a relatively short time.

Shall I ask my question about the West of England Ferry again?

saltydog · « **Reply #4206 on:** October 22, 2009, 12:56:49 »

Try to think up a new one, Mike..

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #4207 on:** October 22, 2009, 13:29:14 »

What is the name of this ferry, built 1982? Passenger capacity 12, licensed for day and night use!!

Clue: Same operator as my previous question above!!

Ferryman should get both ferries or he's close to lose his crown!

Staying on the subject of elaborate cover-ups, what was the name of this vessel..? (1974)

Busy with reading those... Hence it's either anyone to go or Mike's ferryboat is still in order!

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #4213 on:** October 22, 2009, 16:07:51 »

OK, continuing on the same theme, same owners, name of this ferry built 1942

Clue:

South West of Englnad.

A traditional carvel passenger boat was built in 1947 by Dixons of Exmouth. She is the longest running original passenger boat in Torbay which is still in service.

Special prize for getting all three ferries!!
