The story of the Titanic is a well-known one — especially thanks to the 1997 film — but there are some who think things played out a little differently. What major twist have some conspiracy theorists speculated about the Titanic?

Books have even been written about this theory. Rumors have circulated that the vessel in the famous incident was actually the Titanic's sister ship, the Olympic. Supposedly, the previously-damaged Olympic was passed off as a new ship, entitling the company to an insurance payout when it inevitably sank.
