Description
The RMS Olympic: A Theoretical Account of the Sinking of the Titanic. The sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912 is a well-known maritime disaster. However, a lesser-known fact is that the Titanic was not the only ship of its kind. In fact, it had a sister ship, the RMS Olympic, which was almost identical in design and construction. Both ships were owned by the White Star Line, a company with significant financial interests. The author of this book, John Hamer, proposes a theory that the decision was made to switch the identities of the two ships, with the Olympic being deliberately sunk and its identity taken by the Titanic, in order to collect insurance and avoid financial loss. This theory is supported by compelling evidence, as revealed in the book. The author presents a detailed account of the events leading up to the sinking of the Olympic and the subsequent switch in identities. The book provides a unique perspective on this infamous maritime disaster, one that challenges the conventional narrative of the Titanic's sinking. By examining the evidence and presenting a well-reasoned argument, John Hamer sheds new light on a fascinating and little-known chapter in maritime history.
