One of the most controversial[5][6] and complex theories was put forward by Robin Gardiner in his book, 'TITANIC: The Ship That Never Sank?'[7] In it, Gardiner draws on several events and coincidences that occurred in the months, days, and hours leading up to the sinking of the Titanic, and concludes that the ship that hit sank was in fact the Titanic's sister-ship RMS Olympic, disguised as the Titanic, as an insurance scam.
What's more interesting is the fact that Benjamin Guggenheim, Isa Strauss and John Jacob Astor et al. were some of the wealthiest men at the time and were opponents of the formation of a Federal Reserve Banking system.
In 1910, seven men met on Jekyll Island just off the coast of Georgia to plan the Federal Reserve Bank. The Titanic then sank on April 14, 1912. The Federal Reserve was officially established as an independent agency by the Federal Reserve Act (38 Stat. 251) on December 23, 1913.
Additionally curious is why so much effort has been put into re-telling the story to the masses through film, museums, and literature while leaving out the questions that matter.
