Titanic researchers have uncovered artifacts of Bridge Officer William Murdock, popularized by his largely inaccurate representation in the blockbuster James Cameron film, Titanic. Seen accepting bribes, killing a couple people and eventually himself, family members, along with historians, were unhappy with the film and inaccuracies in the story-telling. 20th Century Fox eventually issued an apology and donated to the Murdoch Memorial Prize, given by high school in memory of the officer.
Historians hope this and other finds will help personalize such a wide-reaching and historic disaster...
