Well, it is quite possible that the ship referred to as Titanic is, in fact, the sister ship Olympic which suffered damage in New York Harbour as well as from a British warship in the English Channel. J.P. Morgan were the financiers behind Titanic and J.P. Morgan declined to travel at the last moment. Insurance coverage was increased prior to the voyage and it is suggested that because the Olympic was so badly damaged a switch was made at the Harland and Wolf shipyard and the name 'Titanic' was welded over the name 'Olympic'. It should also be noted that 5 days before the Titanic (Olympic) sailed another vessel called the "Californian" left London with no cargo except 3000 woolly sweaters. The Californian stopped in mid-Atlantic and waited for the Titanic (Olympic) and even communicated her position to the Titanic......this can all be verified by research.
