Many speculated that it could sink. However, on April 15, 1912
proved the opposite - Titanic hit an
iceberg and sank, and life has lost 1,517 people. But does not seem
to be exactly alike.
The largest and most modern ship 100 years ago was the Titanic, and many speculated that it could
sink. However, on April 15, 1912 proved otherwise.
However, now it turned out that was not everything as we thought before.
Oxford writer Robin Gardiner (64) published a new book that argues that the bottom of the Atlantic
lies Titanic.
"Survivors describe that walked the deck, but in that place, according to the draft of the ship, should
have cabins. This is because it is not happening on the Titanic "-Gardiner said.
Added that details of the ship actually found that travelers sailing on another boat - the Olympic .
The writer points out that the mystery of replacement ships lies in economic problems .
The story began with the developer JP Morgan , director of the White Star Line company . Morgan
was allegedly caught in financial problems, " the neck " , and later on it fell off and the pressure to
finance the repair of Olympic , which was damaged in a collision with another ship .Insurance companies refused to cover the cost of rebuilding the Olympic . In addition , Morgan
wanted to transport the U.S. and gold bars worth 8 million pounds to save the crisis there and begin a
new life .
According to plan, the ship should sail Olympic Titanic instead, and should have a major accident
and subsequently the company White Star to get insurance money
However, the plan went wrong ...
The writer argues that the Titanic until the end of his "career" as Olympic sailing to not reveal the
fraud.
Indeed Olympic was sister ship of the Titanic. And the differences between them were very small.
