Geez, why can't the article use the proper term "the bridge" instead of/that it could explain as "the main control center of the ship". I remember reading that to be readable to the average American, the news is written in fifth grade level English. In this case, it shows.


By contrast the BBC reported:

> The merchant vessel SS Mesaba was crossing the Atlantic in April 1912 and sent a wireless message to the Titanic but its warning never reached the bridge.

and included the multibeam sidescan image.
