[BITList] Strictly Come Titanic

[Malcolm]

Hugh.

 

In the program Goodman says how many years after the Titanic sank it was
before he started his apprenticeship as an electric welder. Naturally he was
not born when the ship sank in April 1912. He was born April 1944 and did
his apprenticeship at Harland & Wolff in Woolwich. I never thought that
electric welding was on the go in 1912. As along with Mike, I enjoyed his
program and look forward to watching the next three.

Ron, Mike,

 

My concern, not made clear, was with the sheer numptiness of the bit in
quotes.  Welding companies (whatever they might be - I can't say I've ever
met one), don't help to build ships, certainly not  riveted ones like
Titanic, any more than paint companies help to build ships (they sell
paint). And, in any case, Len Goodman's association with welding can have no
relevance to Titanic.

 

Hugh.
