Ok, I caught some of this in LB, but why would they want to switch the two ships? I am unclear on this.
Do you believe in reincarnation, Anon?
My sister has a godson who, when just 3 years old, was OBSESSED with the Titanic.
He was so obsessed with the Titanic, that his mother made a birthday cake that was shaped like the Titanic.
My sister was always creeped out by this.
However, I am a believer in reincarnation and I just figured the little kid was remembering the incident.
Yes, if the Titanic and the Olympic were switched for the maiden voyage, then where did the Titanic go? Did she stay in service as the Olympic? And why couldn't JP Morgan insure the Olympic? This is so bizarre, I am having a tough time wrapping my brain around this. I have never ever heard this theory before! Thank you, Anons!
What people died on the Titanic/Olympic?
Ok:
-
Olympic was older than Titanic.
-
JP Morgan decides to get rid of Olympic.
-
Morgan knows he will not be able to procure insurance if he decommissions Olympic.
-
Morgan switches identity of the Olympic with Titanic and retains the Titanic as the Olympic.
-
The Titanic's (actually the Olympic) maiden voyage is filled with many rich and affluent enemies to Morgan.
-
Morgan has the Titanic sunk at sea and collects insurance money for Titanic AND gets rid of many of his enemies.
TitanicAnon, do you think that Morgan was looking to benefit from a war with Germany, but the majority of those passengers on Titanic would have been opposed?
So, Morgan had them offed at sea, which then opened a smoother doorway to war through a FF attack on the Lusitania?

Found this interesting, just because the letter Q pops up in researching!
KEK!

On a side note here, I know I mentioned my sister's godson having a Titanic obsession at the age of 3; but personally for my family, it was always told to us from our grandparents (native American Sioux) that our white side of the family was directly descended from royalty.
And my great great grandmother would tell stories to my great grandmother (who I was very close to) that she was bounced on the knee of an Uncle to the Queen.
Then the other story was that there was a lawyer who had documentation that showed that we were indeed descended from that royal line and that lawyer was on the Titanic…so that paperwork and documentation never made it back to England.
