Conspiracy
THE TITANIC
By: Rhiana Chickering, Julie Schneider, Cari Peters, Marea Ferry, and Taylor Freund.
RMS Olympic
•The Theory: The RMS Olympic sank on April 15, 1912, not the Titanic.
•The RMS Olympic and the Titanic were almost identical. (Considered sister ships.)
•The Olympic crashed into a Royal Navy cruiser on Sept. 20, 1911, but no insurance payments could be collected for this accident, due to not enough damage.
•The Titanic was insured and was able to collect payments if any damage occurred.
•Therefore, the owners of the RMS Olympic purposely directed the captain of the RMS Olympic, thought to be the Titanic, into an area with icebergs, telling the captain not to reduce speed, creating the accident in order to obtain insurance proceeds.
RMS Olympic Continued
•Therefore, an insurance claim was filed for the Titanic insurance policy, even though the RMS Olympic was actually the ship damaged in the accident.
•The objects from the Titanic's disaster site were unable to be linked to the ship.
•Theory formed by: the authors of The Riddle of the Titanic, Robin Gardiner and Dan Van Der Vat.
•Contradiction to this theory: The Titanic's hull number, 401, was found at the bottom of the ocean on the propeller, proving the ship was the Titanic.
•The Olympic's hull number was 400.
•Even though there is proof that it was the Titanic, many people still support this insurance fraud theory.
Mummies
•American businessman smuggled a coffin with a cursed mummy
•hid it under his car that was on the ship
•Novelist Paul Byers said, "But the unlucky mummy would have the last word because the ship sank the next night."
Coal Fire
•Robert Essenhigh released the Coal Fire theory in 2004.
•This theory led the iceberg collision
•A pile of stored coal had started to burn, to take control, they put more coal into the furnace, which lead to dangerous speeds in the iceberg waters
The Jesuits Theory
•Jesuit-member of the Society of Jesus
•The Jesuits were looking for funds for the wars and schemes
•Jesuits wanted to create Federal Reserves to get rid of banking competition
•Businessmen Benjamin Guggenheim, Isador Strauss, and John Jacob Astor didn't agree with creating Federal Reserves
Jesuit Theory Cont.
•Jesuits got John Morgan to build the Titanic and make sure the businessmen were on the ship
•Captain Edward Smith was a Jesuit
•It is said Smith's Jesuit Master ordered him to run the ship through the ice field
•The goal was to drown the 3 businessmen
Wrong Turn Man
•It is said that the sailor of the ship panicked when he saw the iceberg, and turned the ship the wrong way.
•Titanic Second Officer Charles Lightoller's granddaughter wrote a novel and said this
