Claim By Charles Pellegrino re: Phillips and Bride

[RHeld]

In the latest edition of Her Name: Titanic, Charles Pellegrino makes the following claim about John Phillips and Harold Bride's jokes to each other during the night:

"For this edition, the jokes themselves have resurfaced, following the discovery of Harold Bride's descendants and a complete record of communications between the Titanic and the Olympic."
( Her Name, Titanic - Charles R. Pellegrino - Google Books The claim can be read in full at the bottom of page 259.)

What "complete record" is Pellegrino referring to?

 

[Scott Mills]

What does he cite there, if anything? If he cannot produce any documentation that goes to prove that wireless traffic between Titanic and Olympic was not fully documented to date, I would just assume "family story, " which if not back up by at least circumsancial evidence I would tend to dismiss it. That's just me though.

Also, if you write history books cite!

The pv between the Titanic and the Olympic has been known about for years. I used to it create this: http://www.paullee.com/titanic/pv.html
