After the sinking of Titanic, an inquiry was put to Officer Rowe regarding the distress rockets and he reckoned he must have shot off about eight.
This is interesting because the officers of the nearby SS Californian were inquired about how many rockets they witnessed that same night and their guess was between six-and-ten.
