You're the guy who thinks that the WalMart brand of macaroni and cheese is some kind of vast conspiracy, so you'll have to forgive me for not taking you too seriously.

The White Star Line scammed the insurance companies though by refusing to accept survivors eye witness accounts that the ship broke in half and was obviously materially or structurally deficient.
So yes, 100 years ago there was a conspiracy theory over Titanic. As they say, there wouldn't be conspiracy theories if there weren't conspiracies.

Well, to be fair, he didn't do it by himself.

Besides - this thread is unsinkable.

the titanic sank because it was a riveted connected boat and when the ship hit the icy waters. the steel was mild steel which wasn't heat treated so once the rivet rubbed against the ice it sheared the head off, cause the steel plate to move. it wasn't a welded ship. the steel was very brittle in the icy waters

So how did all these conspirators manage to arrange for that ship to hit that iceberg in the exact manner needed to sink it? That take really efficient management.

The most interesting aspect of both the Titanic and the Olympic were the engines were a conservative transition from reciprocating piston steam engines to steam turbine drive. These ships had both.

Cold embrittlement was a continuous problem that plagued ships until beyond WW2. IIRC several WW2 Liberty ships broke up north of Murmansk early in the war. Better designs, fabrication and steel alloys have pretty much eliminated these problems.

At least it wasn't a liberal transition.
