What should we make of a website claiming to have discovered a wreck without publishing images or sonar scans?
Short answerAsk for the evidence; a claim cannot displace archival documentation until comparable supporting material is available.
NotesA new claim can overturn an official account, but only when it brings evidence that others can assess. An Admiralty report or other archival record is not infallible, yet it provides a documented account against which the new claim must compete. A historian cannot responsibly replace that material with an unsupported assertion or accept a demand to prove someone else's case for them. The practical rule is to revise the history when comparable evidence warrants revision, rather than when a confident alternative merely appears.
