The Titanic has specific parts unique to her. The same as any car or plane built. The stern of the wreck has been investigated very well. Those props match the ones listed as being made for the Titanic. By Harland and Wolff. Builders who's integrity of records have never been disputed.
Not that many cancelled their tickets. In fact, due to the coal strike at Titanic's berth harbor, she was coaled up with other liner's allotment. Making it where those booked on those other liners switched to the Newest Liner. Titanic. Such a thrill.
Olympic ultimately was scrapped due to two incidents. The original collision with Hawke and running down the light ship. The first collision stressed the framing that running over the lightship finally cracked wide. This crack was a main support for the outboard props.The same props she always bore. As listed by H&W.
I think they found the proper serial numbers unique to the Titanic on the wreck, so that theory was discounted. That's if I remember correctly.
Titanic wasn't carrying anywhere near a full capacity, which was fortunate in hindsight but due mainly to the coal strike. Maybe some people had a premonition of the tragedy. I do believe it can occur. But it could also have been that people were scared of the size of the ship and the new technology, being devout people and having superstitions in those times.
no this was debunked by the fact that Titanic wreckage with a Titanic serial number logged by the builders was retrieved. Additionally minor design detail differences have been spotted on the the Olympic and titanic wrecks, which match their identity.
It was surely inconceivable at the time that the titanic wreck would be found, so there was no way they'd even try to rig those details - and they'd have been right I guess, it was too long until any details could have been found.
No it was the sister ship and sunk in the Mediterranean while carrying wounded troops.One of the nurses was a Titanic survivor, however she also survived the Olympic sinking.The reason why the Olympic sunk was the all the ships portholes,due the the heat were open, this aggravated a slit mishap.
Your entire premise is based on the bizarre notion that the owners of the Titanic knew where to find an iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic, cold bloodily planned to sink it and murder the passengers. Stop and use a bit of critical thinking skills.
This is nonsense...if Olympic is at the bottom of the Atlantic, where is Titanic?
Titanic was suffering a bunker fire, where one of the huge coal bunkers is on fire, and the crew were unable to control it. I suspect that Capt. Smith needed to get to New York quickly so that the NYFD could help save his ship...therefore he headed through the iceberg field at high speed. Full speed ahead and to hell with the torpedoes.
I like a good conspiracy theory. They replenish my faith in human inquisitiveness. This one is however... simply barmy. A bit like Harry Hill's assertion that President Kennedy died of a peanut allergy.
Was it an insurance fraud? Why did so many people cancel their tickets just before departure?
