Uh, it melted.
Some interesting tidbits there, but I hope Alasdair didn't spend too much time researching the story - it's probably not Pulitzer prize material.
However I like his wistful closing line:
In all likelihood, the iceberg that sank the Titanic didn’t even endure to the outbreak of World War I, a lost splash of freshwater mixed in imperceptibly with the rest of the North Atlantic.
Like the iceberg, like the titanic, like the mountains and the people - these things, too, shall pass away.
Thx for the post, n2doc.
