Photographic Evidence Proves Keith Richards Was On The Titanic

New photographic evidence has proven that Keith Richards was on the Titanic. Yes, you heard that right. The ageless rocker is the butt of countless jokes insinuating he is as old as time and will live forever. Well, this new evidence suggests maybe that is true. The photo of a young Richards on a bicycle on the deck of the Titanic means he is at least 115 years old.

The new photograph was found by a clerk in the basement of The National Archives in The UK. The clerk, Ella Babcock, found the photo mixed in with other photos from the King George V coronation. The photo showed a young boy around age 5 sitting on a bicycle on the deck of the Titanic. As can be seen, A life preserver clearly labeled with “The Titanic, London” is in the background.

At this point Ella recognized the boy in the photo as a young Keith Richards and knew she had something. The photo was old, and a little blurry, faded and stuck together, but there was no doubt she had something. Ella immediately launched a full investigation. She assembled a team and they went to work. They scoured the archives, museums and contacted James Cameron who directed the Titanic movie.

As a result of cross referencing and some deep diving, they were able to locate a Second Class Passage ticket for the Titanic with Richards photo on it. All documents and photos were authenticated and verified by Nigel Terwilliger of Fezziwig Galleries. Nigel is a leading expert on all things Titanic and Rolling Stones. “It’s definitely Keith Richards” said Terwilliger. “And it is definitely the Titanic. The photos and tickets are 100% real. We restored the photos and confirmed they have not been touched since originally snapped in 1912.

1912

The Titanic set sail on April 10, 1912 from Southampton, England to New York City. The British passenger liner sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912 after striking an iceberg. Of the 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 perished in the icy waters. How was Keith Richards on the ship and how did he survive? There are more questions than answers.

What this means is that if Keith Richards was 5 years old in 1912, he is now at least 115 years old. “However this is only the tip of the iceberg, pun intended” said Ella Babcock. “We uncovered many photos of Keith Richards that date back to the beginning of photography in the mid 1800s. There is one with Keith and Abraham Lincoln taken at Fords Theater before the incident. There is another with Keith and Mary Todd Lincoln after the shooting that is captioned, Besides that how did you like the play. We cannot explain any of this. There are other items we found that I am too frightened to even tell you about. You could not comprehend. Whatever it is, god bless and long live Keith, he is an international treasure.”
