Poor Jack Grimm, he really did try. By “try” I mean at least his new expedition actually existed. He’d had no luck finding the entrance to the center of the Earth or the Yeti (seriously).

Although, even with the monkey, I suppose it didn’t give him too much scientific credibility to conduct a North Atlantic research expedition by setting off from Florida.

On the third try, he found an odd shaped … something… called it a propeller, declared he’d found her, and quits.

He spent the rest of his life claiming ownership of the wreck based on that ‘propeller’. I imagine it must have been very annoying when he realized he’d passed over Titanic and missed her. Not so bad though, a few years later the French spent over a month slowly combing the ocean floor before later realizing they’d missed her in the first few days by a few hundred feet :)

For those interested, the history of attempts to search for/find/recover Titanic is crazy. They started almost immediately after the sinking and only got more insane until 1985 :)
