I believe the leading theory is that it was not the Titanic that sunk, it was it's sister ship the Olympic (which was almost identical in structure). It was just disguised as the Titanic as part of some insurance scam by the company who owned them.

How many followers does this rando have? This reminds me of the new journalism Im noticing on websites now, where journalists take some random tweet and attach it to celebrity gossip, or political drama.

Celebrity A totally gets support for what she did! Haters gonna hate!

*The article is just some tweet with 10 followers.*

Two of the three of them in fact. Funny enough, Olympic was the only ship of that class that didnt sink, although it was involved in some incidents.

That ship class was cursed af, and was way too big for the time they existed in.

More on topic, the post in the OP is just a Twitter loony. I could understand if MTG or someone said this, but this isnt even a politician, its just some rando. Stop giving them attention and move on.

The Olympic got into an major accident that left it beyond repair, and it was deemed the Olympics fault so they could not collect insurance so the company had to scrap it. The plan was to fix it up as best they could, switch the Titanic/Olympic names, and send the damaged "Titanic" out on it's "maiden voyage" knowing that it will sink. Since the "Titanic" is a new ship and the iceburg was an accident (I think the theory says they originally planned to purposely flood the boat and make it look like an accident), they would be able to collect the insurance.

I do not know what the plan was with the perfectly fine Titanic ship, now named Olympic, and without the giant hole it got from the accident. Remember this is a conspiracy theory so don't bother using logic.

The idea is that the damage wasnt economical to fix, not that it was damaged beyond repair. The insurance money was going to be enough to do the repairs. The idea is still total BS though.

The Olympic was in an accident while docking that caused structural damage to its hull which shortened its life. The insurance companies paid out, but then refused to insure the ship any further. Meanwhile, the Titanic was insured based on the idea that it was new and that it was unsinkable.

The conspiracy theory goes that the Olympic and the Titanic had their names secretly swapped so if the Olympic (fake Titanic) ever sank they could collect insurance on it. Furthermore, it was this past hull damage in the Olympic (fake Titanic) that caused it to sink so easily when it struck the iceberg. The ship company collected the insurance money. Meanwhile, the Titanic kept puttering on after its supposed sinking under the name "The Olympic."

The conspiracy theory is easily disproven by the fact that there are visible structural differences between the ships if you know where to look. The wreck matched pictures of the Titanic in the shipyards and before it sailed, which really should have put that conspiracy to rest.

Not to mention the location of both wrecks are known, and look nothing like one another.

Titanic split in half. Britanic is still in one piece except the hole where the mine hit.

It wasnt an accident while docking. She was heading to the English Channel as part of her 5th voyage when she collided with a cruiser. Their insurer refused to pay out due to the Olympic being at fault in the collision. The accident while docking in New York during her maiden voyage didnt do any damage. Plus both the Olympic and the Titanic were insured based on the idea they were unsinkable, not just the Titanic. As for whether they refused to insure the Olympic any further, I cant say for sure one way or the other since Ive never read anything about that, but since she sailed for another 24 years Id assume there must have been insurance.
