Titanic Conspiracy

Info Warrior – Martin Haywood

An article of the mysteries and conspiracies of the sinking of three famous ocean liners during a period from 1911 to 1918.

The story of the tragic sinking of the titanic is the most best known story of a ship in all history, everyone knows the story, and you don’t have to live near the sea to have a good knowledge, even if you aren’t even interested, you still known the story to an extent. The Titanic, biggest and most richly decorated ship of her day, even before she sails she is known throughout Britain and possibly the whole world, sets sail for New York city, she is a symbol of mans greatest achievement, man has beaten nature and god himself. Everyone can be heard saying, “she is unsinkable”, or “God himself could not sink this ship. However barely a week in existence she hits an iceberg, on a very strange night, an unusual night, there is no cloud in the sky, so all the stars of the milky way can be seen on her promenade decks, yet despite all the visible stars, there is no moon, if that is strange enough, there is no wind either, just a motionless sky that chills the skin to the bone, this gives me the impression that supernatural powers were at work. After she hits the iceberg she suffers from a 300ft gash on her starboard side (on this present day we now known that such damage was impossible) and within 2 hours mans greatest achievement in history (and to conquer nature and the sea) breaks in two or even three pieces and plummets to the Ocean floor and dies, taking 1508 (no-one knows the precise number) with her.

That’s how the story goes, but is there really more to the story then that, rumours that were kept in the dark for almost a century, are beginning to come to the light, and my task was to see if I could draw a line on what happened in the story leading up to the night the unsinkable sank. The Birth of the Titanic conspiracy began before she was even introduced to floating on the water, in 1907 two new super liners; the Lusitania and the Mauritania were introduced to the world by the White Star lines biggest monopoly rivals the Cunard line. Not wanting to be outdone, white star started designing their own ocean liners, Olympic and Titanic (with a third ship called Gigantic to be added later) But White star was having problems with money and I’m not surprised seeing how no expense was spared in building these bigger, richly decorated ships.

In 1911 Olympic was launched into the sea and began her maiden voyage, it wouldn’t be until next year when Titanic joined her sister on the sea. The Olympic completed her maiden voyage to Newyork safely, but celebrations were slightly offset when suction from the massive liners huge propellers pulled a tugboat into the side of the ship, not damaging the liner but badly damaging the tug. While work continued into building the Titanic, Olympic sailed the sea many times, rivalling Cunards Lusitania and Mauritania on her own.


Then Titanic was finally launched into the sea at last, but it would take yet more time to fill her hull with the splendour that that made her famous. Meanwhile another accident befell the Olympic, again suction from her propellers was to blame, a battle cruiser, HMS Hawk (a ship that rammed ships to sink them) was caught in the suction and rammed her bow right into the side of the Olympic, causing a mass of damage to her starboard engine and propeller shaft, later damage was found to have broke the ships back, making Olympic worthless and no more than scrap iron, I should add as well that there was damage to her forward compartments that seem to match that of titanic’s iceberg damage.

White star blamed the cruiser for what happened and vice versa, white star Demanded Compensation, but following a court battle, the judges found Olympic to blame and this is where the Titanic conspiracy begins. Olympic sailed back to where she was built and for a brief moment is seen side by side her sister ship and they look exactly the same.


I’ll show you the famous shoot of the two ships together in a minute, but first, I was always arrogant, before I started to try and prove the conspiracy was fact.

I always argued that the two ships WERE NOT identical and that they were slightly different.

The picture at the top is a picture of the Olympic, lets note just one thing here, the A deck windows are completely open, if I have confused you, then I also added this picture below of the Titanic, as you can see, the forward part of the A deck windows are different and it was these differences I was so arrogant about, the story of the windows goes like this.
Ismay, owner of White Star made a note of problems on Olympic, one was that, passengers complained about sea spray and wind during bad storms could drench the A deck promenade through those big open windows, so an enclosed area was made to the forward part on Titanic, or was it part of their plan to gain insurance.

Here is the picture I promised, not even I can tell which ship is which, and that is because, THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME.

At this time they are exactly the same, so it’s no trouble really to rub out their names and change them, it’s as simple as that, and the workers will do it if they want to get paid and escape unemployment by White Star. Had repairs went on like on any other ship, the repairs would have been done in two days, but the Olympic was in dry dock for over a week, consistently switching places with the titanic. I recently watched a documentary on the conspiracy on YouTube while doing this information and there is a quote from someone that says “Olympic was looking more and more like the titanic everyday”, and vice versa. A couple of days before the maiden voyage, the titanic (AKA Olympic) went to do her sea trials, and again it’s fishy, a ship’s sea trials should take two days, titanic’s was only one. There was no test of speed or evasive action= yet the board of requirements deemed titanic seaworthy and after collecting passengers, luggage and dozen bags of mail, titanic (aka Olympic) set off and sailed into history. The story from here is that the supposedly new liner would be secretly scuttled at a certain point in mid ocean, with a rescue ship conveniently within reach to rescue everyone on board, everyone would be safe and white star would be given compensation to build a new ship.

What a solid plan, genius, they could get rid of a worthlessly unlucky ship in disguise and claim money for purposely sinking her but it all went horribly wrong when a certain Iceberg loomed out of the night sky, the crew knew that if they hit that iceberg, everyone would know about it and the fault of the sinking could not be blamed on bad craftsmanship.
Evasive action was taken, but the iceberg grazed the ship in an area where due to the accident with the hawk there was weakness. I wonder how white star thought; their unlucky ship had plagued them with more bad luck. Worse, the iceberg had put them on a course that took her out of view from the rescue ship and the rest we know. After the night of April 14/15 1912, the other liner Olympic (AKA Titanic) seemed to be a fortunate and extremely lucky ship, taking hundreds of passengers across the Atlantic safely, during World war one she became a troopship, delivering American soldiers to Europe safely again.
She is the only (unarmed) ship in history to attack her attacker and win, she became a target for a torpedo, (the cause of what sent her rival Lusitania to the bottom and maybe the Britannic as well) but she took evasive action and avoided it, then she rammed into the U boat that attacked her sending it to the bottom, she was hardly damaged at all. The plan didn’t work, everyone knows that an iceberg sent the ship to the bottom, so again no money was given, maybe this is why white star gave a fine to the families of each crew member lost, a fine for lost uniform, how could they be so cold hearted. Also many saw the ship break in two, but the builders and crew tried to cover this up and they were successful, until the wreck was discovered in 1985 and evidence was examinable, the whole conspiracy goes totally backwards and seems the swapping of ships never happened in the first place.

The whole conspiracy theory gets so confusing, as if the schemers thought of everything to prevent uncovering the truth, many kept their knowledge in the dark and when they died, the critical evidence died with them.
There is only so much evidence we can find and it’s hard to get anywhere without getting seriously confused, happened in the documentary on YouTube, one guy is talking about a possible switch of propellers as the ships numbers were printed on, Olympics’ 400 and titanic’s 401. The number on the propeller at the wreck site clearly says 401, but this guy was arguing that white star would have known this, and swapped them, however one of Olympic propellers was damaged in the incident with the hawk so how could it be swapped, he literally got confused in his own argument. Both the documentary and myself just couldn’t draw a line and give you a simple answer “yes, the conspiracy was fact” or “no the conspiracy was rumour” I just can’t give you an answer. Who knows maybe some critical evidence will turn up in the years to come, but if the conspiracy was fact then I must admire the men behind the plan, they haven’t made it easy, this is almost a 100 years secret and most likely never proven.

In conclusion even if the conspiracy was fact or not, it doesn’t excuse the fact that 1500 people died on this cold April night, strangest of nights, with all the information I have given and there is still more within reach, I still believe that power of a higher sort was at work this night.
I always believed the ship was the titanic that sank, but after all this research I just don’t know what ship was sunk, but it is clear that it will always be remembered as the night the impossible happened and the unsinkable sank. To this day the Titanic story continues, the chapters to the story aren’t yet finished, we have her construction, sinking, discovery, salvage debates, the latest chapter ending is when the last living survivor died in 2009- what do you think of this for a coincidence......... titanic was launched into the sea on the 31st of may 1912 and the last survivor died on the 31st of may 2009.

In a few years the remains of the great ship will collapse, but the story can only end once every scrap of her id dissolved and GONE.

Until then her story continues, continuing...
