Was it Titanic or Olympic?
Here is an interesting conspiracy theory about the ship- Is she really the Titanic down there?
Facts for-
The facts for a simple:
1. Olympic was difficult to insure given numerous accidents. This meant the the ship may have been sunk to collect the insurance money.
2. Its possible they only wanted to ships- and felt the Titanic was far more superior.
Facts against-
The arguments against are as followed:
1. No ship is alike
2. Every ship has a number for its parts and the parts are not interchangeable
3. Olympics parts featured 400 on all parts and Titanic 401 . These were yard numbers. The number given to each ship at the shipyard. Each part was scrolled the number given by the yard.
4. The ship at the bottom of the ocean has the number 401 on all parts found- therefor it is Titanic.
Another interesting fact
It seems possible that the sinking wasn't an accident- the reason is that nearby lay the SS Californian. The Californian was carrying wool blankets for the exact number on the Titanic that night. Could it be possible that Capt. Lord and J. Bruce Ismay had a plan to sink Titanic and Californian come to the rescue- Given the fact that the captain of Californian failed to act this is unlikely, but it seems a bit shady nevertheless. So in effect its unlikely that this was ever the plan- more coincidence then anything.
Another fact that says that Titanic is the one that sank is the Bridge of the ship- The Olympic had a rounded bridge while Titanic had a flat bridge- This is a dead giveaway as the foundation of the bridge remains. The foundation clearly has a flat front instead of rounded.
You be the judge- Olympic or Titanic?
