Enigm@ Posted March 25, 2012 #651 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I already asked this on another thread. What are they going to do with the safes??? I know that they are giving passengers monetary compensations, but if they can recover the safes, are they going to return the valuables to their owners??? I'm just curious... Costa stated early on after the tragedy that anything that can be recovered will be recovered & returned to their owners (or families), but that will probably have to wait until the later stages when the ship has been removed.

Wonder if they'll be as quick to retrieve the passengers' belongings as they were with Ms. Cemortan's? The magazine Oggi somehow got a hold of the investigator's photos....:eek:http://www.oggi.it/focus/gallery/domnica-cemortan-ecco-il-contenuto-della-sua-valigia/?pid=10217 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyDenise Posted March 26, 2012 #656 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Well, that gave new meaning to the term " she has her panties in a bunch" . Also noticed she had some bottles of booze too...I guess when you are doing the Capt. you can cross rumrunners off your packing list.

GranysT Posted March 26, 2012 #659 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) I read recently, about him writing a book. Supposedly he's already started it. Maybe he has to write it fast, so he can collect before he goes to jail. It would be another shame for him to profit from this tragedy. But guess it's to be expected.

I'm always afraid to ask the definition of terms used by other English speaking countries because I'm accutely aware of the fact that the USA has given the world two expressions that are now used around the globe regardless of language. One of those expressions is: "OK" :D I can't seem to recall the other one. :p John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the insurance claim and not what was offered by White Star Lines. A huge percentage of that claim is for a necklace worth $20,000. Looking at the numbers from MeasuringWorth, $20,000 from 1912 would compare to at least $464,000.00 in 2010 (last year that numbers are available). That's a heck of a necklace to be taking on a cruise :-). I remembering reading some where that White Star Lines billed the families of employees who died for their uniforms and other items.

The insurance company(s) that had the policy for White Star covered all claims from passengers - based on other information from the associated Molly Brown article. Similarly to how the insurance companies for Costa are covering the Concordia third party liabilities in 2012, but Costa capped what you are being offered for your possessions at $14,000. I figured that necklace had to be pretty costly in current day dollars. Yes, the story is that White Star treated the crew very poorly. They also stopped the crew's pay the minute the ship went down.

Just think that all of that is still down there. When the Titanic is a pile of iron oxide, the gold and jewels will still be there in the pile, mostly intact.
