This is extremely compelling. Let’s get the world’s billionaires and the six conservatives on the US Supreme Court to investigate it in an amateur built submarine. Rich people love the titanic and lack of regulations.

Sounds like nonsense, the pictures are swapped. Quote below from https://www.cruisemummy.co.uk/titanic-vs-olympic/

7. The Titanic had more irregular windows One of the few differences you can spot by looking at pictures of the Titanic and the Olympic next to each other is that the Titanic had more irregular port holes on B deck.

This is because of all the design changes that were made to that part of the ship during construction – it means that the windows were spaced out a lot more unevenly.

On the Olympic, because the plans were unchanged during construction, the windows are evenly spaced across that deck.

More importantly, even if the Olympic sank instead of Titanic, then Titanic continued serving as an ocean liner and troop ship and hospital ship for two decades, so what was the point of the fraud?

Apparently there is a Wikipedia page dedicated to Titanic Conspiracy theories, who knew!

In regards to swapping the Olympic with the Titanic, this section summarizes:

British historian Gareth Russell, for his part, calls the theory “so painfully ridiculous that one can only lament the thousands of trees which lost their lives to provide the paper on which it has been articulated.” He notes that, “since the sister ships had significant interior architectural and design differences, switching them secretly in a week would be nearly impossible from a practical standpoint. A switch would also not be economically worthwhile, since the ship’s owners could have simply damaged the ship while docked (for instance, by setting a fire) and collected the insurance money from that ‘accident’, which would have been far less severe, and infinitely less stupid, than sailing her out into the middle of the Atlantic with thousands of people, and their luggage, on board, and ramming her into an iceberg”.

They lost me forever at “at the last minute”. Anyone with even a slight concept of logistics knows there’s no way they’re just going to swap all the provisions, luggage, load, fuel, passengers, etc. at anything near the last minute.

This would imply that the captain and navigation crew intended to crash, which none of the evidence indicates.

My theory is that the Titanic actually is the long lost Ship of Theseus, just with all the parts replaced hundreds of times.

If only the two pictures at the top weren’t swapped.

I once caught a taxi in Belfast, and the driver recounted the same theory, claiming it as fact. He also claimed to be a retired member of a paramilitary group (which was probably more plausible).

Differences from Titanic

The Olympic and Titanic were nearly identical, and were based on the same core design. A few alterations were made to Titanic and later on Britannic which were based on experience gained from Olympic’s first year in service. The most noticeable of these was that the forward half of Titanic’s A Deck promenade was enclosed by a steel screen with sliding windows, to provide additional shelter, whereas Olympic’s promenade deck remained open along its whole length. The additional enclosed volume was a major contributor to Titanic’s increased gross register tonnage of 46,328 tons over Olympic’s 45,324 tons, which allowed Titanic to claim the title of largest ship in the world.[35]

Additionally, the B-Deck First-Class promenade decks installed on Olympic had proven to be scarcely used because of the already ample promenade space on A-Deck. Accordingly, Thomas Andrews eliminated this feature on Titanic and built additional, enlarged staterooms with en-suite bathrooms. It also allowed a Café Parisien in the style of a French sidewalk café to be added as an annexe to the À la Carte Restaurant, and for the Restaurant itself to be expanded to the Port-side of the ship. One drawback of this was that the Second-Class promenade space on B-Deck was reduced aboard Titanic.

A reception area for the restaurant was added in the foyer of the B-Deck aft Grand Staircase on Titanic, which did not exist on Olympic, and the main reception room on D-Deck was also slightly enlarged. 50-foot (15 m) private promenade decks were added to the two luxury parlour suites on B-Deck on Titanic, as well as additional First-Class gangway entrances on B-Deck. Cosmetic differences also existed between the two ships, most noticeably concerning the wider use of Axminster carpeting in Titanic’s public rooms, as opposed to the more durable linoleum flooring on Olympic.

Most of these shortcomings on Olympic would be addressed in her 1913 refit, which altered the configuration of Olympic’s First-Class sections to be more like those of Titanic. Although the A-Deck Promenade remained open for the entirety of Olympic’s career, the B-Deck promenade was vetoed and staterooms added like those on Titanic, as well as a Café Parisien and enlarged restaurant. The 1913 refit also included modifications for greater safety after the loss of the Titanic, including the addition of extra lifeboats and the addition of an inner watertight skin in the hull along about half the length of the ship. An extra watertight compartment was added bringing the total of watertight compartments to 17. Five watertight bulkheads were raised to B deck. Along with these improvements there were many others included in the 1913 refit.

I think there was originally some confusion because graphics of the sistership were reused for news reporting because they thought it was close enough.

It’s a fun theory, but weren’t dishes and other artifacts stamped or embossed with “Titanic” recovered from the wreck?

We all know titanic was a victim of Indiana Jones and his rich friends through their submersible sinking the ship to block the entrance to Atlantis. While being chased by Cthulhu, since he angered him because they took the crystal skull. Then the US government covered it up because illuminati does not want the world to know Cthulhu exist.

JP Morgan bankroll actual ecocide and genocide but people still make up fancifiul stories instead of being mad about the real world murder they fund

I read this a decade ago on reddit. It’s one of the only conspiracy theories that I actually think isn’t so crazy.

That’s a really long-standing theory. I remember a TV show on it in the 90s when I was a kid.
