I would have thought Stoke would keep that quiet.... Still rumours that Titanic was actually Olympic repatched, and those rumours were common even when I was a kid and I'm from a shipping family and I don't particularly believe in conspiracy theories. Damage definitely looks similar to that shown in underwater photos and scans. Jason 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason The main thing is that the hole in Olympic is in her arse end, rather than the front (ok, replace stern and bow if you insist*..). It does show that the watertight bulkheads in the design could cope with "localised" flooding. The shot of Hawke also shows what a silly idea Rams** were! Couldn't even sink a civvy ship! * Purists only! ** Ram so badly damaged that a collision mat had to be rigged to stem the inflow of water... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said there are too many holes in the story not for it to have some basis in fact. Why for example was a clearly incompetent captain given such a major ship straight after a scandal such as that? Someone trying to cover something up. I'm afraid I won't look at random internet websites. Especially one run by a convicted fraudster.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Dunning_(author) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronL Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) At midday a man walked into a pub, up to the bar and said to the barman: "A pint of lager, please." "Sorry," replied the barman. "We're waiting for a delivery. We'll have it back on draught at about three." "OK," said the man and left. A quarter of an hour later he came back in, walked up to the bar and said to the barman: "A pint of lager, please." "I've already told you," replied the barman. "We won't have any until three o'clock." "OK," said the man and left. A quarter of an hour later he came back in, walked up to the bar and said to the barman: "A pint of lager, please." "Did you not get the message?" replied the barman. Then, slowly and clearly he said: "We ... are ... waiting ... for ... a ... delivery. ... We'll ... have ... some ... after ... three ... o'clock." "OK," said the man and left. A quarter of an hour later he came back in, walked up to the bar and said to the barman: "A pint of lager, please." "Look," said the barman, on the verge of losing his temper. "How do you spell it." "Spell what?" the man replied. "Lager." "Oh, that's easy. L - A - G - E - R." "What about the 'F'?" the barman asked. "'F'?" said the man, sounding puzzled. "There's no 'F' in lager." "Finally you get the message," the barman said. "See you after three."

RMweb Gold AndrueC Posted January 6 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 6 Puts me in mind of a joke I posted a while back. Three people walked into a bar. None of them were injured but the foreman had to fill out an HSE form. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted January 7 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7 The Titanic/Olympic conspiracy theory is, to my mind, most interesting because at no point in it's century-plus history has anybody evey commented to the effect of 'no, impossible, that nice JP Morgan would never have been involved in such a terrible and shameful thing!'. Seems it never happened, but that's because it never occurred to him, not because he wouldn't have done it! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westernfan Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Apologies if I've already posted this. I've had enough of Christmas.
