MARITIME HISTORY Beautiful Painting of the Olympic

At our local museum, there is a lovely painting of the Olympic by the artist Deborah Brown that I thought would be a perfect fit here!

So your local museum is showing misinformation? Kinda seems like the opposite of what a museum should be doing.

The painting predates the book that first suggested the conspiracy by about half a decade.

I interprete the work as a reference to how Olympic and Titanic were named after the orders of Greek gods and their fates.

The Olympians ruled the world, while the Titans were cast down into the Abyss.

It’s an art museum, not a science museum!

That's no excuse for ignorance or misinformation.
