Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was the name of the hurricane that was going to endanger the salvage crew?

Answer: Amanda

The hurricane was called Amanda and it had curved northward and was going to endanger the salvage crews any day now. She was packing winds of 180+ mph and was moving at 40 mph to the North.
2. What were the names of the two tugs that were dispatched to tow the Titanic to New York?

Answer: Thomas J Morse and Samuel R Wallace

The two tugs arrived to take the Titanic in tow. Sandecker tried to plead with their captains to head for safety after telling them of Hurricane Amanda's progress. The tug captains agreed to stay put and do the best they can.
3. Who is the captain of the Mikhail Kurkov?

Answer: Ivan Parotkin

Ivan Parotkin is the captain of the Mikhail Kurkov. The Mikhail Kurkov is an ocean research vessel from Russia.
4. Captan Prevlov was what had dropped out of an airplane to land close to the Mikhail Kurkov.

Answer: Yes

As Parotkin watched, a bomber airplane approached and he saw something drop out of the belly of the plane. It was a man. He instructed his first officer to show Prevlov to his quarters when he was safely onboard.
5. What was Chief Baskim's nickname?

Answer: Bad Bascom

Chief Bascom was from the Samuel R. Wallace and was in charge of helping to hook the tow cable up. He had received that nickname after "he tore up a bar in San Diego." He had the "face of a prize fighter and the body of a beer keg."
6. How long did Pitt have the entire salvage crew waiting for him?

Answer: half hour

He, Sandecker, and Giordino were up to something. Pitt called the entire salvage crew to the gymnasium for a talk. Spencer was upset because he knew there was work to do and Pitt had them sit around for a half hour. Pit said that everyone including the Admiral should leave the ship and save themselves before the hurricane struck. Everyone decided to stay to help out through the storm.
7. Was Sturgess's helicopter disabled?

Answer: Yes

Someone threw a hammer into the rotor blades as Sturgess touched down. Part of the blade was hanging down where it had broken off. Pitt told Sturgess that he must've caried a stowaway. When Sturgess opened the hatch to the cargo area, they waited before going in and investigating. They found a body wrapped in a tarpauline.
8. Whose unconscious body was found on the helicopter?

Answer: Dana Seagram

Pitt was suspicious that there may have been a stowaway on Sturgess's helicopter who had tossed the hammer into the rotor blades. So, he asked Sturgess to open the cargo hatch. When they entered the cargo hatch, Sturgess pointed to a human like shape in the tarp and stated that he had folded that tarp an hour earlier. Pitt unwrapped it and found Dana Seagram with a nasty blow to the head.

However, she was stil alive, just unconscious.
9. Under what name was the Russian submarine going to send the "distress signal"?

Answer: Laguna Star

Prevlov informed Parotkin that within a couple of hours, a Russian submarine would surface and send a distress signal. It would be transmitting under the name of the Laguna Star. It would act as a tramp freighter with an unknown registry. The signal would then stop sending once the Russian sub submerged.

This would cause the American ship, Juneau, to speed up her efforts to save a crew which would not be there.
10. As a final result, Prevlov plans to destroy the Titanic.

Answer: Yes

Parotkin was ordered to destroy the ship if Prevlov's boarding mission failed to get ahold of the Byzanium. Even though Parotkin does not want to do it, Prevlov wants the ship destroyed so no one will get the Byzanium; even the Americans.
