Did the Titanic really sink? The conspiracy theory raises 13 mysteries about the incident

In her report, published in the Australian edition of Reader's Digest, writer Lauren Kahn reports that the ship was "unsinkable". How could the Titanic sink to the bottom of the Atlantic just four days after its first voyage?

Was it really the Titanic?
Many agree that the luxury ship sailed on April 10, 1912, and then sunk four days later, killing nearly 1,500 of the 2222 on board. There is, however, a point at which the consensus ends, with some insisting that the ship that sank was not the Titanic, but the almost identical RMS Olympic.

The writer explained that according to the novel, the Olympic was damaged in the accident of the year before the sinking, but in order to obtain a greater reward from insurance, the owners involved in the ships to show the Olympic as a Titanic and then deliberately drowned. Although there are many gaps in this Titanic theory, the serial numbers on parts of the ship that have not sunk, support this hypothesis.

Has a fire on the ship already led to its elimination?
The writer added that a recent documentary film provided credible evidence that Titanic (let's call her name only for dialectical necessity) was hurt by coal fires, which had been burning three weeks before the ship sailed. The damage would have weakened the hull, precipitating the sinking of the ship as it collided with an iceberg (if it had already collided with an iceberg, another mystery discussed below).

Why was the captain hastened?
For decades, people thought Captain Smith was speeding through the icy waters of the North Atlantic because he wanted the Titanic to cross the Atlantic faster than her sister Olympic ship. But in 2004, the American Geological Society published an academic paper by engineer Robert Esnhagi, in which she presented a different theory and claimed that the real reason behind the acceleration of the Titanic was to burn coal as soon as possible in order to control the aforementioned coal fire.

Why did the ship break up into small pieces?
On September 1, 1985, oceanographer Robert Ballard discovered the wreck 2.5 miles below the surface of the ocean.

It was widely believed that the ship sank intact after hitting an iceberg as it rushed through the icy waters off the coast of Newfoundland, while Ballard's discovery led to a new theory that the ship split into two parts due to manufacturing defects.

Did the torpedo sink the Titanic?
Most people believe the Titanic sank after colliding with an iceberg on April 14 (regardless of other contributing factors). Some believe that a German submarine destroyed the Titanic. Three years later, in 1915, a German submarine sank a passenger ship, the Lucitinia. However, the torpedo theorists may have confused the Titanic with the Lucitinia, or between the Titanic and the Olympic ship, which was damaged after colliding with a warship in 1911. However, the presence of many other ships in the vicinity of the sinking of the Titanic leaves the question open. .

Was there really an iceberg?
The author states that if we assume that the Titanic did not collide with another ship and was not torpedoed by another ship, it is safe to believe that an iceberg collided with it, right? The professional sailor captain confirms to. M. Collins said that if the Titanic had hit an iceberg, it would have fallen to the bottom in a matter of minutes.

Instead, Collins and his followers believed that the Titanic might have collided with an ice sheet of “ice packs” (ice sheets floating near the ocean surface) that made their way to the Atlantic across the Arctic Ocean. Collins points to differences in eyewitness accounts, which are likely to be in fact due to different natural visual illusions, especially if no one other than the crew has binoculars.

Why didn't the crew have binoculars?
The writer reported that the storage department contained the Titanic's complete stock of binoculars. The key to this section was in the possession of a crew member who had been removed from the ship before sailing, who later claimed to have “forgotten” the handover. But for a questioner to ask: Did he really forget it? Or is it deliberately stuck to it?

Why didn't anyone take him so seriously?
The author explained that even without binoculars, the Titanic may have time to change course before the collision, especially if the crew were alerted. On the other hand, one cautioned the crew an hour before the collision, as a nearby SS Californian ship alerted them through the radio to indicate that it had stopped because of a "dense ice field." However, the radio operator of the Titanic Jack Phillips did not convey the warning to Captain Smith, where some say the message was deliberately conveyed as "not urgent".

Did the California ship have the ability to rescue the Titanic?
The writer said the cruise ship was less than 20 km from the sinking of the Titanic when it sent warnings to the Titanic that there were ice risks. Later, the California crew reportedly ignored the Titanic's distress signals, although they claimed they were unaware because the radio operator had stopped working.

Third ship
The writer stated that the SS Californian was not the only one to ignore the distress signals sent by the Titanic. It is likely that the Norwegian ship Samson was near the Titanic during the incident as well. In fact, some believe Samson was closer to the Titanic than the SS Californian, but ignored the distress signals the Titanic was sending to avoid prosecution for illegal fishing.

Did John Pierpont Morgan plan the Titanic?
The writer reported that John Pierpont Morgan was considered to be one of the wealthiest people on the planet at the time, and had great influence. In addition, Morgan did not join the trip at the last minute. Which causes us to ask many questions, perhaps the most important: Why Morgan and the entire family absent from the trip? Was he aware of what would happen? Is it the one who planned this incident?

Was the sinking of the ship a conspiracy?
The writer pointed out that some believe that the sinking of the ship has nothing to do with insurance money, but Morgan is the plan of the sinking to kill his rivals. Jacob Astor, Isidore Strauss and Benjamin Guggenheim were killed on board.

Why weren't enough lifeboats?
The writer explained that according to History.com, "No matter why the Titanic sank, such a huge loss of life could have been avoided if the ship had enough lifeboats for its passengers and crew."
