Hey, all, Can somebody please explain the intent and focus of the so-called "limitations" hearings that took place in the aftermath of Titanic? I ask because I've been informed of late by reliable sources that the Duff Gordons may well have testified in 1913 at one of the hearings. I...

Good evening. Concerning the notorious Duff-Gordon group shot, taken aboard the Carpathia: I know that the picture was taken BY Dr. McGee, but was it taken with HIS camera, or with a camera the Duff-Gordons (or someone else from #1) carried off The Titanic? I keep hoping that other "on board"...
