The follow up to 'the riddle of the Titanic' - 'Titanic the ship that never sank' when into so much detail about the events of the sinking that it felt as though you were acutally there!
As far as the conspiracy, well, it might have happend it might have not - it's difficult to say whithout all the facts.
I remember in the account of the sinking from the memoirs of Violet Jessop (a stewardess who served on all three ships) that the Titanic had rubber matting on the decks (the Olympic did not)- this would have been quite a waste of time if you were going to sink the ship- just to make it seem like a new ship.
