- Olympic's hull was white
- Titanic's hull was black
- Titanic wreck was found, the hull was white underneath the black top coat of paint
- 1936: Olympic was dismantled
Evidence Continued
- No evidence found that proves it was the Titanic
The switch Theory
- Many cancellations from high profile passengers right before the voyage
- JP Morgan owned the parent company of WSL, he cancelled a few days before saying he was sick, he was seen the same day, perfectly fine
- People connected to JP Morgan cancelled as if he warned them of the plan (Henry Frick, Horace J. Harding, George Washington Vanderbilt)
Titanic conspiracy theories
- After the Olympic crashed, WSL switched the boats, saying that the Olympic was the Titanic and the real Titanic was put on hold
- Made minor repairs to the "Titanic", just enough to allow it to run without being as safe as it should be
By Anna Giunta
- Staged the sinking of the Titanic (really the damaged Olympic)
- no one was supposed to die
- WSL would collect insurance money
- WSL would become heroes by saving the passengers
- The Californian rescued the Titanic survivors
- There are some differences in the structures of the two ships
- Differences would have been spotted by inspectors
- Had no passengers onboard, only cargo was 3,000 blankets
evidence for the switching theory
The olympic
- Californian was off route
- If WSL got caught, would lose reputation and money
- Risk of killing passengers by sinking ship, WSL could be charged with murder
- Should have been enough lifeboats for all passengers if WSL was going to purposely sink it
- The Olympic had 16 portholes, Titanic originally had 14, and when the "Titanic" left for its maiden voyage it had 16 portholes
- Olympic's windows were unevenly spaced, Titanic's were more even, when the "Titanic" left for its voyage, windows were uneven
- Was the Californian just waiting for the Titanic to sink and save the passengers?
- The Titanic's sister ship, the Olympic got in a collision with another ship, caused major damage to the ship
- The White Star Line didn't have enough money to pay for repairs
Evidence:
SOURCES
- Year after the Titanic sank, Federal Reserve established
- Could establish because there was no longer anyone against it

- Onboard the Titanic, 3 wealthy passengers:
the theory is...
Evidence against the switching theory
-Isidor Straus
-Benjamin Guggenheim
-John Jacob Astor IV
- Titanic's ID number 401 was all over the wreck
- Couldn't have been that thorough with the switch
- All 3 were opposed to the Federal Reserve
- Captain Edward John Smith would have to been in on it
- Why would he crash the ship just for some businessmen?
- He died in the sinking
- If he knew about plan, would have survived
- JP Morgan: owner of White Star line (company the Titanic belongs to)
- JP Morgan read the book, staged the sinking of the Titanic
- Sinking could kill the 3 businessmen that opposed the Federal Reserve
- All died in Titanic sinking
The switching theory
- Years before the Titanic, book "The Wreck of the Titan" was written
- About a ship called the Titan that struck an iceberg in Northern Atlantic Ocean, exactly like the Titanic
The federal reserve theory
- Then Morgan and other businessmen would be able to establish the reserve
Titanic
Olympic
The Olympic
Californian
