Introduction

The story of the Titanic has been told so many times that we all think we know what happened. But there have always been rumors about the sinking, most famously that an iceberg caused it. And now, after 100 years of research and study, there’s finally a new theory: The Titanic was sabotaged from within!

The Titanic’s captain, Edward Smith, had already decided to go down with the ship.

It would be easy to believe that Captain Edward Smith was the story’s villain, but that’s not the case. He was a hero—not just because he stayed aboard his ship until it sank, but also because he’d already decided to go down with her.

Why would a captain in charge of two ships consider such an action?

Because of his experience as a master of one of them: Olympic, also known as “Old Reliable,” had previously been responsible for numerous rescue operations from 1907 to 1914 before being retired from active service and eventually sold off by its owners at auction in 1915.

Several holes in the hull and the Titanic’s forward compartments were flooded.

The iceberg did not damage the Titanic’s hull. Several holes in the hull and the Titanic’s forward compartments were flooded. The iceberg did not hit the ship at a point high enough to cause any structural damage, but it did create a hole in the side that was large enough to cause a massive amount of flooding.

The idea that there were no holes in the hull is incorrect. It has been proven through forensic examination of photographs taken after its sinking and written accounts from survivors who saw its remains on April 22nd, 1912, that there were indeed several breaches along its sides, which allowed water to flood through into lower compartments like boiler rooms and engine rooms below deck level where it could not be pumped out quickly enough for fear of capsizing or sinking altogether due to excessive weight distribution if every compartment had been drained simultaneously.”

The ship only sank slowly because of strong air pockets in the aft compartments.

The Titanic sank slowly because of strong air pockets in the aft compartments. The ship’s stern was raised above the water line, and its bow was underwater. The pressure from water against the ship’s hull kept pushing against it, supporting its weight and allowing it to sink slowly.

The Titanic’s chief designer, Thomas Andrews, was partially responsible for faking the crash that led to his death.

When the Titanic sank, Thomas Andrews was seen as a hero for helping passengers to safety. However, he was also responsible for faking the crash that led to his death.

The sabotage was carried out by Andrews himself and other White Star Line crew members on board. They created an elaborate plan to fake their deaths so they could escape their fate and return home safely—but they were caught before they could execute it.

According to reports from survivors, when Andrews discovered what had happened, he became enraged at how much he had been betrayed by those who had claimed to be his friends and colleagues. He then returned below deck where many others were waiting until rescue arrived or until it became clear there would be no such rescue due to extreme circumstances outside control on landside Earthly affairs related directly (or indirectly) to it.”

Andrews convinced the first officer William Murdoch to load tons of coal under the water line as a self-destruct mechanism.

It’s also worth noting that the coal used to make up this self-destruct mechanism would have done more than sink the ship. It would have also been used to destroy it and stop it from falling. The coal was piled under the waterline and set ablaze—but not with any intention of burning the ship down: The idea was to have a great big fire under there, which would then cause an explosion when enough pressure had built up inside.

The plan worked: A massive explosion tore apart the Titanic’s hull at around 2:20 am on April 15th, 1912 (some accounts claim 2:18 am).

Andrews’ idea was to line Titanic’s boiler room bulkheads with high explosives to ensure her swift demise.

The Titanic was designed by a man named Thomas Andrews. He was also the ship’s chief designer, as well as its builder and inspector. Andrews had made it his life’s work to design unsinkable vessels; he wanted his ships to be so strong they could withstand any disaster and remain afloat no matter what. And the Titanic was no exception: it was built with reinforced steel and watertight compartments, which meant that even if one section of the vessel were breached (as happened, in fact), the next would keep her afloat and allow her crew time to rescue everyone on board before she sank utterly.

Andrews’ family knew about his passion for building unsinkable ships—so much so that when he died on April 15th, 1912, at age 44 from a heart attack during Titanic’s maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, USA (where he lived), his wife Emily refused an offer from her husband’s employer White Star Line Company for financial assistance because she believed Mr. Andrews would have wanted them “to keep going forward with our lives” instead of dwelling on what could not be changed or undone.

The ship’s hull was at fault, not its components’ construction or design.

The ship’s hull was at fault, not its components’ construction or design. The boat was too big, too heavy, and too slow to avoid an iceberg in time. Adding insult to injury is that after a collision with an iceberg, even if it did make it through the damage in one piece (which it didn’t), it would have sunk anyway due to weak points in its hull.

The Titanic had four main compartments filled with water: Boiler Room No 1; Boiler Room No 2; Electrical Generator Room; Engine Room (Lower). Each compartment had doors that could be closed when necessary to prevent water from flooding other areas of the ship. However, during a collision event like this one, these doors were ineffective as they took far too long for operators/crew members to close them manually without being crushed by incoming waves of water pressure before they could save themselves first—and even then, only if all else failed!

Fireman Thomas Coffey disabled the ship’s fire suppression system, which slowed down the cracks it caused.

A fireman named Thomas Coffey was responsible for disabling the ship’s fire suppression system, which slowed down the cracks in the hull caused by the iceberg.

Coffey was a fireman on board the Titanic, but he also worked as a spy for Germany. He sabotaged this system because he knew it would prevent water from getting into the ship and speeding up its sinking.

The most famous story about the Titanic disaster is not valid!

The most famous story about the Titanic disaster is that it was unsinkable. The problem with this story is that it wasn’t true. The Titanic wasn’t built to be unsinkable—or even to withstand icebergs. It was designed to handle collisions with other ships but not icebergs. And once you know that, you can see why the ship sank so quickly on its maiden voyage.

Conclusion

The Titanic disaster was a tragedy, but it could have been worse. The ship’s designers and engineers made mistakes that caused the accident, but they were not the only ones at fault. The crew should have been more diligent about maintaining ship safety, and many other factors contributed to its demise. In all likelihood, no one will ever know precisely how much blame belongs to each party involved in this disaster…but readers can learn more about them (and how they could have prevented it) by reading our article!
