Jack Grimm was perhaps the most colorful and eccentric of characters to seek the lost liner. A self-made billionaire, he'd already financed expeditions to locate Noah's Ark, the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and even conduct a search for the hollow earth, so it came as no surprise to the world when he announced his aim to seek out and discover the legendary ship. A massive fundraising campaign went out amongst Grimm and his associates which saw a book deal, song label, a documentary to be narrated by legendary orator Orson Welles, and still more funds over some very well played hands at poker. On the 17th of July, 1980, Grimm departed for the North Atlantic aboard the research vessel H.J.W. Fay.” - Titanic Connections We welcome all offers and inquiries; more photos and information available upon request. Shipped securely and promptly with USPS mail.
