It seems that these days you just can’t have a good disaster without a conspiracy theory of one sort or another about how and/or why it happened springing up. Now it’s Titanic’s turn. The biggest ship of its kind, RMS (Royal Mail Ship) Titanic was billed ‘unsinkable’ by its owners White Star Line. But on April 15, 1912, it hit an iceberg and sank in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, with the loss of 1,517 lives.

It was one of the biggest maritime disasters claimed the lives of thousands of innocent people. But, according to some researchers, the legendary ocean liner might never have sunk at all. They argue that shortly before the Titanic’s voyage, it was swapped with an identical vessel, in of the biggest scams in history.

The Titanic didn’t sink, its sister the Olympic did!

According to Oxford author Robin Gardiner, 64, the ship that sank was not Titanic at all – it was Olympic, her sister ship, in what was planned as one of the world’s greatest insurance frauds. Just one week before the sinking the insurance had been upgraded. The Olympic and Titanic were exactly the same. The only real difference was the name on the side of the ships.
