Great disasters always attract conspiracy theories and this is just
as true of disasters at sea as it is of those on land or in the
air. The sinkings of the Titanic and the Lusitania, two of the
great maritime disasters of the twentieth century, have attracted
more than their share of these theories. Was the sinking of the
Titanic a plot by J. P. Morgan to remove opponents to his plan to
create a US Federal Reserve Bank? Was the construction of the ship
substandard? Was the ship that hit the iceberg that night even the
Titanic at all? Might it not have been her sister Olympic instead?
And was the Lusitania deliberately allowed to sail into harm's way
to provoke the US into joining the First World War? Was her name
obscured so the U-boat captain did not know what ship he was firing
on? And how much ammunition was she carrying aboard? In this book,
maritime historian and ocean liner expert J. Kent Layton examines
these and more conspiracy theories and helps lay them to rest.
