The Great Titanic Conspiracy

The conspiracy theory simply suggests the Titanic wasn’t actually the technical marvel the ship’s parent company, the White Star Line, had promised. If they couldn’t match the Lusitania’s speed, Olympic-class ships would outclass Cunard ships: they’d be even bigger, and more luxurious. would have resulted in capsizing of the Titanic, which would have occurred about 30 minutes earlier than the actual time of sinking.

The RNC is partnering with the Republican Jewish Coalition and Rumble — a virulently antisemitic platform — for the third GOP debate".A fire began in one of Titanic 's coal bunkers approximately 10 days prior to the ship's departure, and continued to burn for several days into the voyage.

On September 20, 1911, while passing a military vessel, the Hawke, the Olympic made an unexpected turn. Yet it doesn’t offer any explanation for how he caused the ship to hit an iceberg and kill over 1,500 people, let alone the three men he supposedly intended to die. This would have caused the ship to flood, capsize, and sink within minutes, damaging the starboard side of the hull and potentially the superstructure.Rather, the White Star Line swapped ships for the voyage from Southampton to New York, and the ship billed as the top-of-the-line Titanic was actually an older ship: the Olympic. With assistance from naval architect Roger Long, the team analysed the wreckage and developed a new break-up scenario [20] which was publicised in the television documentary Titanic's Final Moments: Missing Pieces in 2006.

The lawsuit meant repairs would not be covered by insurance, and it was drawing no money while sitting around the docks. The conspiracy theory claims that some person or people found the Olympic too severely damaged to be profitable, and so at some point switched it with the Titanic to purposefully ditch the damaged ship, reap the insurance money and, it seems, kill a bunch of people in the process.

This view remained largely unchallenged even after the wreck was discovered by Robert Ballard in 1985, which confirmed that Titanic had broken in two pieces at or near the surface; paintings by noted marine artist Ken Marschall and as imagined onscreen in James Cameron's film Titanic, both depicted the ship attaining a steep angle prior to the breakup.One of the controversial [5] [6] and elaborate theories surrounding the sinking of the Titanic was advanced by Robin Gardiner in his book Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank?
