Okay,
according to this TV show I saw, the Titanic never sank.
It's sister ship had a hole in it somewhere and so the owners disguised it
as the Titanic and sunk it for the huge insurance payments?!
Some have said that the Titanic is actually now being used as a private
ferry for Hitler!

Arg! i canna Believe you people! Callous, insensitive..i take it none of You lost family on that ship, eh? ...are You Sure though? Ever look on the ships Passenger Register? if not..you may well have and don't even know it..thus you would be belitteling your own loss. Conspiracy my arse, i lost family on that ship. The parents both survived, but my great aunt Mandy did not. She choose to stay with her BF. Their belongings are on tour with the artifacts retrieved from the Captains safe in the wreck. May something like this Never happen to Your families..and if it does, may no one ever say such things about them. |

I know that this is an old topic but I think it needs to be woken up 😜
-----------
IF Titanic and Olympic had been switched this is what some people who believe in it think would have happened:
On the 20th September 1911 the HMS Hawke smashed into the side of Titanic's sister ship Olympic just after Olympic had left Southampton for her 5th voyage. Olympic's starboard side was so badly damaged that it took two weeks just to patch her up! so that she could go to Harland & Wolff, Belfast, UK for 6 weeks of repairs! During this time work was stopped on Titanic.
In February 1912 Olympic returned to Belfast, UK for a new propeller blade, during this time she was right next to her sister Titanic, so if they were switched it would have been done then.
(All of the above is fact)
Some people believe that they were switched because Olympic was no longer sea worthy and It is fact that they received no insurance money because Olympic was blamed for the accident.
The real Titanic would have been finished as her sister (during the 6 weeks) and would have had a long career as Olympic.
The real Olympic would have been refitted as Titanic (don't forget they were almost identical). |

...Pressed submit before I had finished :lol:
The plan would have been to sink Olympic and all the passengers be safely transferred to the Californian and maybe other IMM owned ships but things went terribly wrong.
So was Titanic a tragic disaster or an insurance scam gone terribly wrong?
Quote----- I thought the Titanic's sister ship was the Lusitania, which also sank.----
No, Lusitania was one of Titanic |

well there is things saying that the propelers got swiched around, the olimpic had the titanic propeler witch had number 401 on if the ship that sunk has number 401 on the propeler its the olympic, but on the prints of the drawrings for the ship, the starboard wall is straight on the titanic and is a curve on the olympic so that might be a clue to what is the real ship that sunk. |

Errrrr, yes. . .the two largest ships in the world, while in one of the busiest ports in the world, were swapped around without anybody noticing. After all, it's only about 90,000 tons of floating metal to shuffle about.
Also, although both ships did have the same length and beam, they also had a considerable difference in other measurements of their basic structure (not just in little minor things). This would have needed major renovations; judging from the amount of time involved in the construction of those ships, it would have taken at least a year in drydock to cut down Titanic and stretch out Olympic. Or did nobody notice during the next quarter century that the Olympic was the wrong size?
Then there's the matter of the ships' inventories, which would have included the manufacture numbers on the engines and turbines and suchlike, all of which would again require some major work to switch.
So there was never the time nor the opportunity to switch ships. |

Heyy. The Titanic Is A TOTAL Hoax =] Seriously..I Belived Up Until About A While Ago..It Was Replaced By A Badly Damaged But Nearly Repaired Ship Because The Titanic Was Not Going To Be Finished Until Days After It Was Set To Sail. They Re-painted The Name Titanic On The Side..[[Or Something Like That]]..And Let It Go..Knowing It Might Crash Or Sink Even Without An Iceberg..But Many Members Of The Crew And Passengers Were Totall Un-Aware..
Got It? =p xx |

Do you people research before you speak?
Olympic did suffer severe damage due to a collision with a Navy vessel named the HMS Hawke. The damage to Olympic was catastrophic. The White Star Line took the Navy to court, but to no surprise, the HMS Hawke was found innocent, thus Olympic had 0% chance of receiving insurance money.
Therefore, in a daring attempt, White Star switched the two ships. Olympic was crawled back to Belfast, and Titanic who now assumed the name Olympic, was also brought back to Belfast to fix a propeller.
The gaping hole that the HMS Hawke punched into the original Olympic was converted into bulkhead doors, which were not part of these types of ships, but when the ship was discovered at the bottom of the ocean these bulkhead doors were visible. Titanic (the new Olympic), took over a whole week to get a propeller blade fixed, which normally only took one day. The reason it took so long to fix was due to the fact that the Belfast shipyard was attempting to make the two ships look as similar as possible.
The original Olympic actually needed a new propeller blade, so it took Titanic's (now called the Olympics) spare. This is true, because in 1985 when Robert Ballard visited Titanic (the Olympic), its propellers were buried under the mud. In 1991, a Russian crew dug up the propeller blades and noticed the number 401 was written on the blades. The original Olympic had 400 written on her blades, but do to the swap she ended up with the extra set of 401 blades. Years later Robert Ballard went to visit Titanic (the Olympic), but her propeller blades were excavated by a mystery crew and never found again (How odd).
Now, for all of those who think that White Star was willing to kill 1,500 people, you are very wrong. In actuality, White Star had sent two ships to the destination were Titanic (the Olympic) planned to founder. One ship was the California, who was manned by Captain Lord. Captain Lord was actually awarded a metal during his Navy career for saving hundreds of people from a sinking ship. The other ship remains a mystery to this day.
What was said to actually happen was...
California was in position ready to go. The other mystery ship was sailing to its location when it had been damaged by ice. During its repair the ship blacked out its lights. The two men in the crows nest were so busy looking for icebergs that Titanic (the Olympic) smashed into the mystery ship. In the olden days, the attitude was "ram them, damn them." The two ships bolted away from each other so they wouldn't get in trouble. However, Titanic (the Olympic) sailed miles away from the California. Captain Lord of the California was waiting for his signal to move in which were Red, Blue or Green rocket flares. However, Titanic had sailed so far away from the California that any rocket shot off appeared to be the color white. Also to add more confusion to the story, the mystery ship that so badly damaged Titanic (the Olympic), started shooting out its own white rockets, which confused the hell out of the California, which failed to move.
I need to end here, and continue this on another post... |

Titanic (the Olympic) in an attempt to sink the ship by force, had accidentally got the ball rolling by slamming into one of its rescue vessels. The morning after Titanic (the Olympic) sank, the Carpathia, who rescued the stranded passengers, also rescued Titanic's (the Olympic's) and some other ships life boats. They actually collected more life boats than the Titanic (the Olympic) ever had, including inflatable lifeboats, which Titanic nor the Olympic ever carried.
Years later, it was discovered that at the speed Titanic (the Olympic) was allegedly sailing, a collision with an iceberg would push the Titanic (the Olympic) 20 feet over to its side and NOT even puncturing its hull. Ice is no match for steel. It was also discovered, years later at the bottom on the bottom of the ocean floor, that underneath the where the name Titanic used to be written on the ship, there were other letters. Back in those days the names were punched into the steel of the ship. Most of the the punched in letters were effected by corrosion, but the letters M and P were found. There is no M or P in the name Titanic, but both those letters do show up in the name OlyMPic.
I know this story is really outrageous, but people are cruel and some will do anything for money. However, in no way did White Star, in its insane attempt to collect insurance money, intend to end the lives of thousands of people.
The only thing that I never could research, if running into the mystery ship was an accident, then how the hell did Titanic (the Olympic) plan to sink itself? And please do not tell me they were going to use UFO's. |

A few more things I'd like to add, before anyone else asks...
Captain Smith had a terrible track record. He smashed ships like they were going out of style. He mad a perfect candidate for White Star's plan.
The ice that was said to have fallen on Titanic's (the Olympic's) deck came not from an iceberg, but the collision with the other ship. The temperatures were so numbly cold, that ice formed along all the railing and cables. The less than violent shake caused by the two ships colliding caused the ice to fall from the cables and railings onto the deck.
There was also one more ship that surrounded Titanic (the Olympic) as she sank. It was a fishing boat. However, back in the day, many large linears ran over fishing boats leaving it's crew for dead, never stopping to ensure that the ship made good timing.
I apologize for any misspellings. |

You guys need to read the book, "Titanic the ship that never sank" by Robin Gardiner. The switch between the Titanic and Olympic was carried out whilst both ships were in dry dock. There are a number of clues that confirm this theory. The main visual clue for me is where the name plate of on the wreck is pealing away the letters M and P can be seen, i.e. from Olympic. The biggest clues though are in the survivor accounts. Anyway I won't spoil the read. Enjoy it. |

omg, ever thought of this->the 'M' was actually the 'N' and 'I' and the 'P' could have been the 'C'? jeez. and that wasnt good steel, hello, this is 1912! and the crew in the crows nest would have seen the 'mystery ship', because there was no LIGHT POLLUTION to make the star's and the moon's light->they would have seen that, and if they didnt see it, how come the steering-thing that they took a picture of (underwater) was at 'hard a starboard'?? also, there is proof that it was seversl small gashes along the side of the hull, and so she got those from a ship?? wtf?? Also-> consider this. a vesel (i forget wat it was..i think it was european..but dont quote me on that) saw an iceberg (this was a couple days after the titanic sank) that had red paint witch had 'the appeance of being scraped off from a vessel'. explain THAT one. O, and one more point- there are pictures of the titanics boilers, and one of the boilers was the first picture taken of the titanic(when she was under water)that told the team that was looking for her that they found the titanic. So explain THAT, if your so stuck on the theroy that that wasnt the titanic, and o, if the olympic swapped places with the titanic, that the old olympic would now be the new titanic, so the titanic really did sink. so there |

So tell me little Miss.N00b, how does one boiler prove that it is not the Olympic? Did the workers Paint 'Titanic's Boiler' on each 29 of them?
And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't both the Olympic and Titanic have Red Paint under the waterline? So what in the name of Randamness, does that prove?!
Oh, and the Crew DID see the mystety Ship, I do know of the Califournion, but this second Ship has me stumped. |

listen you guys
The olympic was scraped in the 30's
The titanic hit an iceberg and sank
it sank not because the ice berg riped a
hole in it but because the things holding the sheets of metal werent melted and the metal was used. and also when the last piece went down
it was proved a small piece of metal was actually keeping the two pieces of the titanic
together untill it went completly down. thats why the pieces are so close together. The titanic was real and how dare anyone say the sinking was a hoax. The Captain of the ship
and a few other people who where on board where in my family so please stop. If you want anymore proof the titanic wasnt a hoax look online and find out that in the ship it said at the top of the clock in the grand staircase it said rms. titanic. What else is there to say. If it wasnt for the titanic more ships would have probably had the same fate. Just think that it was the mns falt who made the ship because they used used materials because they were secretly building the britanic. oh and have you notice that ever since on the titanic everyone said not even god could sink this ship and it sank. And also the sister ships of the titanic sank to. The lustiana, the Mustiana, The britanic, all the voyagers, and even the titanic 2 sunk. isnt that odd. |

Oh YOu all need to read up on your history. I personally know one of the key players who found the Titanic and also has (documented) the most decents to the Ship as well as taken part in of most of the explorations of the Titanic. Yes I said it the TITANIC. My friend can be seen in The IMAX film on the Titanic and most other documentarys on the great ship. Have more questions ask away as I have sent him the link to this....

Danielle,
There's no need for sweeping personal abuse (condemning every contributor to this thread), especially when that abuse is founded on your own ignorance of what others are arguing.
Rick has argued *against* the conspiracy on this very page, as have I: I've outlined numerous reasons why the conspiracy did not take place on my own website, ranging from an unused SKY TV interview to my own dissertation criticising/debunking the theory's key assertions.
http://www.markchirnside.co.uk
http://www.markchirnside.co.uk/MARK%20CHIRNSIDE%20INTERVIEW%20JUNE%202004.htm
http://www.markchirnside.co.uk/DISSERTATION.htm
Perhaps if you were aware of what I (and others) were actually arguing, you would have refrained from personal abuse. Nevertheless, hopefully this thread will progress in a constructive manner in the future; I would certainly welcome any input from your friend, either regarding this thread or regarding my own work.
Best wishes,
Mark. |

Thank you for your apology, Danielle.
I've got to place the blame on the author of the conspiracy theory, in that people believe it because they read the author's book and uncritically acceptit. If that author presented the totality of the evidence (thereby including the facts against his theory) then his 'theory' would not hold water. As you can see from my dissertation, particularly the second section, in my view the author's academic dishonesty is telling.

After much research and consideration, I must put forward that the Titanic did indeed sink. That there was no conspiracy . Often people looking for conspiracies have far too much time on their hands, or are becoming unhinged.
The idea that 2 ships of that magnitude, could be retrofitted and swapped in a mere 6 weeks, at that time, is most improbable. Not to mention all the people that work in the shipyards or who supposedly swapped the 2. The only way no one would have said anything was if they were dead.
The only way to keep a secret of that size would be to kill all involved. Hence, there was no conspiracy. The Olympic was scrapped in the thirties and the Titanis and the Britantic both sank. One in the Atlantic, the other in the Aegean. |

yes, it would have taken much longer than 6 weeks in order to change the name on the ship, change the plaque at the staricase, and even close-in the promenade deck (which they admitted to doing later on as a retro-fit). yeah right, it wouldn't have taken any longer even if those guys were on a government payroll!!
Explain how there were never bulkhead doors installed on ANY Olympic-class ship produced. They were installed on the Olympic, after the crash with HMS Hawke, though. Look at photos of the Olympic before it's destruction, there are no bulkhead doors that I have seen. Oh yeah, but there are some that are down there with the 'titanic'. Ask Mr. Ballard. Please explain what happened to the propellors that were buried in the mud? Can we see them, please? The boilers or any large items would not have needed to be changed, just change the inventory manifest. They had this fantastic new invention around that time, called a pen;)
I will not let bias and blind-faith prevent me from discovering the truth. its ammusing that someone would say that people believing in a certain group of facts, are 'on the verge of coming unhinged'. In reality, a true deficiency of the mind would be considered when someone is presented with scientific FACTS, and yet still will refuse to believe what has been PROVEN. (such as the world is round:) Just follow the money. How much was awarded to White Star after the disaster? I wish the world were not so sinister, but thats just how it is. Oh well, I guess its true, you cant teach and old dog new tricks. Fortunately for the sheeple, it has been so long (as in JFK), that many people are not even alive to collaberate one way or the other. WAKE UP!!!! now google: we want your soul |

Hi, I have the documentary, which, gives very strong evidence that it was not the Titanic which sank, If nothing else it makes for a very interesting watch. I do indeed believe that it was the olympic which sank, as she was a write off,due to a heavy collision with a military ship. All the passengers were supposed to be rescued but because of tragic blunders and circumstance, this never happened.Why else would a large liner be in the middle of the Atlantic with no passengers on board, its only cargo 1500 life jackets, when there was a coal strike in the UK and the fuel was in short supply and cost a fortune. You need to watch the documantary, its very interesting.

Thanks for sharing your comments with us, Adrian.
On a personal note, I have to disagree with your views. I was one of the historians (much as I hate the word! 😉 interviewed by the Sky 1 Conspiracy team, on June 22nd 2004, although the programme was heavily edited and none of my material ended up being used in the final cut. To go right to the basic accusation, none of the evidence that Olympic was a 'write off' has stood up to expert scrutiny or independent analysis.
If you're interested in further reading, an in-depth analysis of the conspiracy theory that has stood up to independent academic scrutiny is available as a pdf. download file:

Wat a nice world it would be if everything was balck and white and everyone was honest and everything we were told and were to read was true. Unfortunately that is not the case. I know Hitler is dead and Atantis is underwater and nobody lives there, but what I am saying is that it is not beyond the realms of possiblity that something was not right. I don't say that is how it was but is is a view from the other side of the coin. It still happens all the time now, so why not then? Yes a ship sank, yes with great loss of life, yes it was called the Titanic. It does not mean it is the truth the whole truth and nothng but the truth. It does not really matter anyway. What is done is done. It is just one of those things where it captures the imagination of people, they mourn the loss of the machine as much as the people, because of what it was. The only other thing where people seemed to feel as much for the machne was when concorde whent down.
Anyway, lighten up, it is just a few people having a light hearted view. |

So white star scuttled the titanic claiming it was the olympic. Then they used olympic (which was really the titanic) for years to come. Surely this is proof as the olympic was too damaged to continue. So how come it did.
If the titanic had sunk and the olympic did not then the olympic would be sat up in a dry dock unable to sail. |

The Olympic and Titanic were swapped as a cover story to assassinate three people on board.Strauss, Astor,and Guggenheim.Then the Jesuits could open up the Federal Reserve Bank to start the first world war.Olympic was torpedoed by the USS Seal by a jesuit commander. |

I actually know for a fact that the Titanic sunk. My great grandma was a survivor, who has since passed away. She had a bunch of old photos and stories from the Titanic. |

Nobody is saying that a big ship didn't sink, the conspiracy is whether is was the Titanic or Olympic. If your great grandma was on the ship that sunk then she would have believed it was the Titanic as it's name plate etc. were changed.
I'm not saying this happened, but this is what the conspiracy is: The Olympic was worthless because of damage from a collision and the company decided to swap it's identity with the Titanic and sink it. Everyone on board would have thought they were on the titanic whereas they were on the Olympic.
I could have happened, but it is a conspiracy that would have involved so many people that someone would have proof.
The only thing that is slightly odd, is that the Olympic was damaged and not allowed to sail. But it did even after the Titanic sunk. |

The switch theory makes sense, and lets face it, any company, then and now will try to make profit no matter what it costs. If you think that paying money to people like the White Star Line gives you a special place in their hearts then your awfully silly.
Money and its acquisition is the root of many a malady, look whats happening with the worlds banks and see exactly what I mean... it's greed pure and simple. |
