The Titanic conspiracy
On April 10th, 1912 the RMS Titanic set out on it’s maiden voyage across the Atlantic ocean. But tragedy fell upon the glorious ship when the titanic struck an iceberg and sank, or so people think it was the actual Titanic. Today conspiracies have arisen as to whether the Titanic was the actual Titanic or it was the Titanic’s sister ship the RMS Olympic. Today so many pieces of evidence prove that it was in fact the Olympic. I feel that the Titanic that sailed on April 10th, 1912 was actually the Olympic. The Evidence
There have been witnesses in the past to testify that the Titanic and the Olympic were switched. A man named James A. Fenton who was a construction worker for the construction of the Titanic said they were switched. But this was not discovered till later because he and other workers were pulled aside by an important government official and an important person in the White Star Line company and they were read an “official secrets act.” This act stated if they breathed a word about the switch they would be sent to jail for 20 years and would not get a job ever again when they got out. Two important people in the White Star Line company also happened to cancel their trips right before the Titanic was suppose to make its maiden voyage. J.P. Morgan cancelled his trip because he said he was ill, but he was spotted in France two days later. Then, J. Bruce Ismay cancelled his trip because his wife was ill, but they were spotted in wales on a vacation. This shows that if they both cancelled their trip, then both of them had to have known that something was going to happen.
Before the Titanic was built,the Olympic had a wreck with the HMS Hawke on September 20th, 1911 off the coast of Isle of Wight. This collision caused a major hole in the side of the ship and it threw a propeller. It caused problems for the owners because the Olympic had to be taken out of service to be repaired. This made White Star Line push back the maiden voyage of the Titanic from March 20th to April 10th. They did this because they had to repair the Olympic. Pushing the dates would have cost White Star Line
