Ice can't cut steel plate

Ice can't cut steel plate

it wasnt steel it was iron..

It was actually titanium, hence the name.

Still, ice cannot cut.

it wasn't steel plate, and it wasnt cut

it was iron rivets that snapped becuase the iron plate got BENT out of shape you retard

Titanic had a steel hull.
0/10 for making me respond.

>It was actually titanium, hence the name.

Funniest thing I've read all week.

Thanks baby ;*

Ice can't melt steel beams

It was an insurance scam by the owners.

Do some googling

Why did it take so many hours for help to arrive? Who ordered the stand down?

Let the world know!

Damn it already sounds more credible than most conspiracy theories

Someone already wrote a book on it too

Could White Star and its owner JP Morgan have devised an audacious insurance scam to try and salvage their investment in the troubled Olympic line?

The Olympic, the theory goes, would be swapped with the Titanic and sunk in a staged accident. The Titanic, now disguised as the Olympic, would then carry on in service.

The two ships were essentially identical save for minor differences and were moored side by side in dry dock — the swap would entail nothing more elaborate that swapping a few nameplates and plaques.

Proponents of the swap theory have pointed out disparities in the number of portholes on the ships. The Olympic had 16 and the Titanic had 14.

Photographs taken of the Titanic in dry dock show it with 14 portholes. But by the time of its doomed maiden voyage it now had 16 — like the Olympic.

Was this evidence that the ships had been swapped or just that they had added 2 extra portholes as part of aesthetic changes to the Titanic?

During construction — top, Titanic had 14 portholes. By its maiden voyage — bottom, it had 16

Other evidence supports the switch — the windows on the Olympic were somewhat unevenly spaced, but more evenly spaced on the Titanic.

Again, by the time of its maiden voyage, the Titanic had acquired unevenly spaced windows like the Olympic.

gimme thems dubs

It was constructed of Steel plates with Iron rivets.

The damage to the Olympic after its collision with the Hawke lent it a noticeable and permanent 2˚ list to port. The undamaged Titanic had no such list.

However, one second-class passenger who survived the sinking — Lawrence Beesley, later reported the Titanic did, in fact, list to port.

She's made of iron sir, I assure you she can sink.

There was a nationwide coal strike during the launch of the Titanic.

This had led to thousands of firemen, boiler stokers and greasers short of work. Yet despite this the Titanic struggled to find crew, with many men refusing to work on the ship at any price.

Rumours were circulating amongst the workers at Harland and Wolff that the ships had been swapped as part of an insurance scam, and Titanic was to be sunk

Did foreknowledge of the sinking of the Titanic frighten men off from wanting to work on the ship?

this is stupid
and you're stupid for posting it

Despite the immense fanfare and hype that surrounded the Titanic launch, it was only just over half full when it left Southampton on its doomed voyage.

Did White Star want to minimise the number of passengers because it intended to scuttle the ship? Or had the rumours of the insurance scam spread outside of the shipyards?

Several last minute cancellations from high profile passengers certainly suggest some kind of foreknowledge.

I dont care if this hits dubs or not. This is the freshest, dankest meme. Blows jet fuel out of the water. We're going with this one now.

lurking

Many of the richest and most prestigious names in early 20th-century society were booked onto the Titanic.

JP Morgan — the international financier who owned the White Star’s parent company, was due to travel on the Titanic but cancelled his trip a few days before the departure, claiming illness.

JP Morgan and other prominent figures cancelled at the last minute

A New York Times reported discovered this to be a lie — Morgan was actually seen perfectly well with his mistress in France on the day Titanic sunk.

Industrialist Henry Clay Frick’s and his wife, banker Horace J. Harding and billionaire George Washington Vanderbilt — all connected to Morgan, were amongst several other prominent figures who cancelled at the last minute.

The SS Californian, also owned by JP Morgan, was a large passenger ship that was ultimately blamed for the loss of life on the Titanic.

It behaved somewhat oddly around the time of the Titanic’s voyage.

Carrying no passengers — it steamed into the middle of the Atlantic, stopped and waited. It’s only cargo was 3000 woollen blankets and jumpers.

What was the purpose behind this curious behaviour? Was the Californian intended to rescue the Titanic’s passengers after its deliberate sinking?

Edith Russel, a survivor of the sinking was adamant that Titanic officers assured her the Californian was on its way.

Author Robin Gardiner suggests serious navigation errors lead to the Californian stopping in the wrong area — some 12 miles away from the Titanic.

With the Californian unable to complete its rescue mission the Titanic was doomed, and some 1500 passengers and crew perished in one of the worst maritime disasters in modern history.

dubs get!!

And here comes the swap theory... Honestly, why can't things just happen because they did anymore? It was a tragedy, a poorly designed ship that was built in a rush to beat a rival shipping company. They knew about double hulls back then, some ships even had double hulls but they chose not to build it this way (which would have probably saved the ship if it had)

If it didn't sink it wouldn't be the ship we admire today. It'd just be just another massive ship. I think the Britannic had a much more colourful history if you read about it.

The wreck of the Titanic was discovered by Robert Ballard in 1985. Some evidence from the wreck supports the switch theory.

The stamp 401 — the id number used for the Titanic at Harland and Wolff can be seen on the Titanic’s propeller.

However, some authors have suggested that the Titanic propeller was fitted to the Olympic during its repair following the collision with the Hawke.

If true, this would be strong evidence that the vessel on the ocean floor was really the Olympic.

What appear to be the letters M and P can also be seen on the side of the wreck. Could that be the remains of the ships original etched nameplate — ‘OLYMPIC’, covered over with the Titanic’s as part of the scam?

The wreck appears to show some evidence of the grey paint used as an undercoat on the Olympic. The Titanic used black paint for its undercoat.

Also here's your dubs. I gave you all the swap theory. Rich assholes sank the titanic

...

It was a iron hull

Fine by me. Here are your dubs, now let's spread it.

*steel with iron rivets.

Pretty entertaining.
Sauce me chief.

Google "titanic insurance scam" and there is a bunch of stuff that comes up.
The book that came out is called "titanic, the ship that never sank"

Probably not true, but pretty damn interesting
