In the 1990s a new and explosive theory emerged, championed by an author and enthusiast from England. Robin Gardiner proposed that Titanic never really sank at all; that in April 1912 it was actually the ship's sister, Olympic, that sank as part of a plot to cash in on insurance for the beleaguered owner of the liners, the White Star Line. Flash forward to today and the theory has picked up speed in recent years in online forums and social media; so what is the truth? What actually happened in 1911 and 1912? In this two part series we'll examine the facts as they stand; the photo record and plans to establish what happened to Olympic. We'll speak with renown naval architect and engineer Dr Stephen Payne, designer of many passenger ships, notably the Queen Mary 2. We'll try to set the record straight on Gardiner's theory and reveal the truth behind the great Titanic conspiracy theory; the greatest fraud in modern historiography.
