Titanic or Olympic: Which Ship Sank?
Titanic or Olympic: Which Ship Sank?: The Truth Behind the Conspiracy | Bruce Beveridge, Steve Hall, Art Braunschweiger
1 post | 1 read
The Titanic is one of the most famous maritime disasters of all time, but did the Titanic really sink on the morning of 15 April 1912? Titanic's older sister, the nearly identical Olympic, was involved in a serious accident in September 1911 an accident that may have made her a liability to her owners the White Star Line. Since 1912 rumours of a conspiracy to switch the two sisters in an elaborate insurance scam has always loomed behind the tragic story of the Titanic. Could the White Star Line have really switched the Olympic with her near identical sister in a ruse to intentionally sink their mortally damaged flagship in April 1912, in order to cash in on the insurance policy? Laying bare the famous conspiracy theory, world-respected Titanic researchers investigate claims that the sister ships were switched in an insurance scam and provide definitive proof for whether it could - or could not - have happened.

• 3 Stars • Most of us are familiar with the story of the sinking of the Titanic. But did you also know there was a “sister ship“ that was nearly identical to the Titanic? She was called the Olympic. And, as they do, conspiracy theorists claim that the previously damaged Olympic was swapped out for the Titanic. ⬇️

suvata Why? Just follow the money and think insurance claims. It‘s a convoluted story, but the authors make some plausible points on both sides of the argument. But ultimately they want you to belief that it was, in fact, the Titanic that sunk. Of course, how can those ‘sworn to secrecy‘ say otherwise? 🤪 This was a very well documented and interesting assessment. 🚢
