Was The Titanic Destroyed By A German Submarine?

TY ATS - one of the best storys ever, never heard of it =)

but question is - why? was there something hidden on the titanic? maybe ancient aliens...*joke*

Titanic (probably the worlds most greatest studied maritime disaster), was hit by an Iceberg. I agree with Stusmason and Drunkenparrot when they highlighted that submarines of those days did not have the range to venture out to sea that far. I won't bother with quotes. Submarines of the 1900's were still largely experimental coastal boats, restricted by their small size they could only carry sufficient fuel and provisions for short journeys.

Dr Robert Ballard has done extensive research on both the Titanic and Lusitania wrecks, his works 'Titanic an illustrated history' and 'exploring the Lusitania', are a fascinating read on both these disasters i recommend them both.

Lusitania was very unfortunate. Even Kapt Leutnant Walther Shwieger of the U-20 was very suprised at how quickly the ship started to list after the unusually large detonation he reported later in his log after firing the single torpedo. Robert Ballards expidition to the Lusitania wreck site revealed coal dust as the most likely cause, anyway that's another story.


The only real conspiracy about the Titanic Disaster comes from second officer Charles Lightoller, and his false testimony was only to preserve the shipbuilders reputation (Harland and Wolff) by stating at the inquest that the Titanic did not break apart when she sank.

I read something recently in a local paper here about the Titanic, it also appears on the net and i found a link to it i hope it makes interesting reading for some of you on this thread.

I'm not too much in to the Titanic thing, maybe it's just me, but there seem to be a bit of a surge in Titanic talk. And through the grape vine...I wasn't really paying attention. I heard the Titanic was deliberately sunk by bankers to kill a bunch of senators to establish the federal reserve or something like that. Personaly I think some idiot went against the better jugement and sailed in iceberg infested waters and sunk the ship.

I, for one, am surprised that in 2011 Germany is *STILL* getting the blame for WWI. I don't have a hard on for Germany or anything (WWII, clearly bad stuff ), but WWI was a failure of entangling alliances and governments rushing into war because of some Archduck (yup, spelled that right) getting offed in the Balkans. Even if their submarines had the range, and they didn't, the Germans wouldn't be patrolling the western Atlantic to "LULZ torpedo the Titanic cuz we feelz like it!" It's ridiculous. The lack of knowledge on the political situation during that time period is profound, but not surprising considering WWII is much more studied in today's day and age.

A torpedo would do alot more damage than a big rip, it would be a gigantic hole if it didn't completely break the ship in half. It took like 3 hours for the titantic to sink if a submarine would of sank it, would of taken 15 minutes.

What about a mine?This is also a possibility,what if the order was to sunk the Titanic!

funny you should mension a mine, as i recall one of Titanic's sister ships the Britannic sank when it ran into a German laid mine in the Kea straits during WW1. She took around an hour to sink. Interesting link about it here from the guardian

wreck of the Britannic

As if the Titanic disaster wasn;t bad enough financially,I think it was this disaster that finally made the White Star line go bust.

I am pretty big in conspiracies and Titanic so I know a bit about this stuff. The fact is the ships were not switched, that's a fact. But when Titanic sank a ship called the Californian who was owned byJ.P. Morgan did ignore their distress calls. Captain Smith did ignore ice warnings and that is fishy. But there are many, many, many things that happened at that time that sunk and killed those people. Everything that could have went wrong went wrong.
People say it's too elaborate but if you wanna kill someone and not get caught, no plan is too elaborate. Those men opposed the federal reserve and a few months later at Jeckyl Island it's born. That is strange.
But Titanic hit an ice berg, probably even ran aground one. There was also a fire on Titanic the entire time that may have even weakened the structure. There were many boiler explosions and mentions of an ice berg, a giant ice berg. I doubt it was hit by a torpedo, I really do. But the people that would know that would have been dead in 3rd class and they were locked up anyway. And who would have ever thought about a torpedo? No one would have mentioned what they had no idea about. Would we even challenge the official 9/11 story without all the video we have today? I seriously doubt it.
They did scrape an ice berg and found Titanics paint on one in the vacinity. She was moving at high speed and there were bergs all over the area. Killing those keys figures on a cruise liner wasn't a guaranteed victory but who knows. A few wealthy and brave men and women did for some reason decide to not board the life boats probably because they thought she would keep a float but maybe they were kept from boarding. I seriously doubt they were forced to stay and die as there were witnesses everywhere. This also would have been a very bad business decision also for the owners of the ocean liner.

If you want to know more, visit titanic-titanic.com and ask those guys.
They live the Titanic and know everything about it down to every last detail. I'm sure they've dealt with this conspiracy theory many times before. I think the titanic sank because of many bad mistakes and circumstances. Times were changing and safety was nowhere near as important as it should have been. The truth of the matter is Captain Smith died that day and why would anyone sacrifice themself like that. He was also sleeping when the Titanic hit the ice berg which if he was there to sink it then why didn't he sink it. I guess now you would have to add mind control to the torpedo theory also.

When I first watched Vatican Assassins I felt the blast of truth as I listened to the evidence being presented. The Titanic was made of metal and the layers of metal and the thickness that were presented means it was not a possibility for an iceberg to poke a hole in the ship - unless of course the ship was heading directly towards the iceberg at full speed....

All I know is that the mere mention of Astor and his wealth and how the cabal/illuminati/whatever are so hell bent on maintaining their hold on the finances of the globe, it starts to make sense. It is interesting to note that there was a catholic priest who boarded the Titanic and was assigned to photograph people on board - he departed at the final port call before the ship sailed into open waters. Hmmm.

An iceberg on its own could not sink a ship with several layers of thick metal to penetrate. An iceberg scraping up alongside the ship as the Captain tried to veer away from the icebergs - could not possible penetrate several layers of metal. Scrap off the outer layer - do some damage but sink the ship - I don't think so. A ship that was travelling full steam ahead - straight into the iceberg - possibilities for damage start to emerge.

The cabal/illuminati/whatever and their connections make the sinking of the Titanic look a lot like one of their projects. They have no conscience when it comes to killing innocent people and no conscience when it comes to lying and deception. They have the money and the means to buy people or to make them disappear.

An iceberg - on its own - the more I ponder the thought the less likely it seems. Had the Titanic sailed too close to an avalanche of ice as a glacier performed a spectacular breakaway - well the weight alone directly on top of the Titanic would have caused her to sink.

Keep sifting through the evidence as what we have been taught in school is mostly contrived. The truth is there we just have to uncover it and let it see the light of day.

Much Peace...

Which it was.

Some of you folks who are well versed in conspiratorial lore but lacking in solid history are doing yourselves no favors.

The hull of the Titanic was made of highly brittle plate steel which was 1 1/2" thick, hayrdly the "layers and layers of thick metal" you describe, made even more brittle by the cold, briny water and impuritites such as sulphur in higher than normal concentrations.

The scraping up the side ws actually far more damaging than a head on collision would have been, because it caused the hull plating to buckle and warp, opening up several compartments to flooding, whereas a head-on collision would most likely only result in the 2 forward compartments flooding, which would have been survivable.

Er, probably, but this wasn't a glacier. I might as well say that if a massive Moon monster ate the Titanic, she would have sunk, such is the relevance of what you posted.
