Since the bestselling "Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank" was
published in 1998, author Robin Gardiner has unearthed a wealth of
new evidence for his theory that the sinking of Titanic was a vast
conspiracy, and that the ship that went down on April 12 was in
fact Olympic, Titanic's sister ship, and the sinking was planned as
one of the world's greatest insurance frauds. To the present day
the most common maritime insurance fraud involves changing
identities of ships. But tragically the planned staging of the
sinking of Titanic, whereby other ships from the company would be
on hand to rescue all the passengers and crew, went disastrously
wrong and 1500 souls perished on the supposedly unsinkable ship's
maiden voyage. This book concentrates on the conspiracy, with
evidence of why the White Star company intended to defraud the
insurance company by swapping the identity of Titanic and the
recently damaged Olympic in a collision with HMS Hawke, with new
conclusive photographic and documentary evidence of the swap. The
story starts with financier J P Morgan's takeover of White Star and
the Royal Navy's investment in the company's new liners as
potential troop carriers. Following the Agadir crisis in 1911
Morgan began to ship gold and other treasures back to the safe
haven of the US. The pressure on White Star to make up the cost of
the damage to Olympic, which the insurance company would not cover,
through swapping the identities of Olympic and Titanic, was also
the opportunity for Morgan with the collusion of the British
government, to quietly ship GBP8 million of gold to the US. But
unbeknown to the government, the gold was spirited away. The
subsequent staged collision with the iceberg went horribly wrong as
those in charge of Titanic completely underestimated the scale of
the panic and the ensuing disaster as the ship quickly sank and the
rescue boats failed to arrive became a disaster that would
reverberate around the world. This gripping account recounts the
author's theory on the whole build up to the disaster and its
aftermath in which all parties were involved in collusion,
conspiracy and cover-up on an unprecedented scale. Is it true or is
it fiction? Only the reader can decide.
