| | The “third ship in-between” |
 | | I do not think the ship was steaming very much, because after I saw the masthead lights, she must have still been steaming, but by the time I saw her red light with my naked eye she was not steaming very much. |
 | | Before we look at the ship observed by Stone and Gibson, let’s review once again, the bedrock of the third ship theory: that Boxhall on the Titanic and Stone and Gibson on the Californian were observing the same ship on the same line of sight, but from opposite sides. |
 | | Put simply, Stone’s and Gibson’s combined story is that their mystery ship did not turn around (quite different from Boxhall’s mystery ship), but steamed backwards into the icefield, in the dead of night. |
