The Titanic Conspiracy Theory

Over the course of this discussion, it is mine to demonstrate a conspiracy was afoot, not specifically that any one conspiracy, or reason to conspire prevail. There was a switch: the whys and where fores are long since deposited at the bottom of the ocean, or their fellow conspirators dead and buried. That being the case, lets delve into this.There were 3 ships in the White Star Line of the "Olympic" Class:The RMS Olympic, The RMS Titanic, and the RMS Brittanic. With the exception of the Titanic, the other two variants of ships were pressed into military service. One was sank after striking a mine (the Brittanic), the other survived The Great War, and eventually went on to strike a few more ships (no kidding, here), and then die out as a cruise liner simply by virtue of technology and the market. The Olympic, first off the line, was struck by a military vessel (The HMS Hawke) on September 20, 1911. The results of this caused extensive damage to the Olympic, however she was still barely sea worthy. Because of the nature of the collision, it was ruled that the military vessel, despite objective review and evidence to the contrary, was found to have the right of way, the incident was the Olympic's fault. Like most insurance of the time, such negligence voided a payout. This meant the Olympic was already operationally in the hole before every carrying one paying customer. We call this "motive".Fortunately, the occurrence did not sink the Olympic, but did give her a few character flaws, such as a noticeable list to port. Another fortunate circumstance was that the dry dock to repair the stricken vessel was close by... and had suitable replacement parts immediately available. I know what you are wondering: where on earth could such replacement parts for a new line of massive cruise liner be available? The Olympic is featured on the left. The Titanic on the right. We call this "means". https://en.wikipedia.org... for failure to load, and a zoomed in picture of what the Titanic was sporting at the time. So, here we have the Titanic, pre-installment of the "windows" to the promenade. You will also notice, that contrary to the 2 pictures presented by the believer of the White Star Narrative, there is NO name on either prow at this time. Robin Garner makes use of historical witness and record to reveal that for unknown reasons, the traditional linoleum of that class of ship was carpeted over in the "Titanic". This was done to cover the wear and tear currently that the now re-named Olympic had. Further more, when the Olympic turned Titanic left port, it had adopted a peculiar (but familiar!) character flaw. She had a list to port. (Robin Gardiner, Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank?)Surely, though, other aspects of the ship must be noticeable, correct? Not so much. As it stands, the name of the Titanic was tacked on, seemingly as an afterthought, and no other "hard" fixtures bore the name of the vessel. No life preservers bore the name other than the generic "White Star", and the life boats had much the same. It is quite possible that in the hustle and bustle of attempting to move the pieces and parts to keep the narrative afloat (PUN!) that enough life boats simply were not moved over.Con suggests that the insurance was undervalued by several million. Not so much, again!The construction costs for both the Titanic AND the Olympic ran about 3 million pounds for BOTH vessels. A 3.1 million pound insurance clause for one ship would have paid a tidy profit. Pro even suggests that the insurance for the duration time trials was added on as an afterthought: there were people paying that knew better, the time trials would serve no purpose other than to get the vessel out in the open shipping lanes where a bit more danger could be found.The stage has been set, and the players have their roles, all that we need to do now is find an act of God that we can reliably use. Again, I know what you the reader might be thinking: isn't that dangerous? Of course, but consider this, the Olympic was struck by a military vessel purpose built to ram and sink ships. After such an incident, the Olympic didn't sink! With the stop gap repairs complete, the construction of the White Star line of this class was proven, striking an iceberg seemed hardly too much of a threat. With no port to put the stricken vessel in, it would simply be a matter of time before the Olympi-Tanic succumbed to her wounds, and that would be that; press hard for that check, three carbons! Despite iceberg warnings, Titanic traveled full steam on its voyage until the faithful time it met its destiny. The full steam ahead, coupled with the previous damage made the plan seem perfectly chaotic. The iceberg ripped into the hull, and despite belief to the contrary such was possible, true chaos crept into the plan. From there a catastrophic series of events, ranging from incompetent/uninformed officers to confusion about what signals to send for distress took its toll. Simply put, the support systems expected in the area to prevent the situation from escalating were not there.
