They just won't let this one go will they!
1000's of workers in the Belfast shipyards didn't notice the ship they were building suddenly changed names? (And it doesn't matter
how much they might have been paid off to keep quiet,
someone would have talked even if only on their death bed!)
All of the component parts of both the Titanic and the Olympic were stamped with their own unique number, from the huge screws down to the individual instruments and gauges on the bridge, engine room, etc etc. The bridge has been photographed many times by the submersibles - all the number stamps found there belong to Titanic.
The leaking hull is a new one but wouldn't the stokers have noticed they were paddling in freezing cold water long before she began to go down at the head!!
It keeps people in jobs I suppose.
