    About this ebook

    The Titanic was labelled unsinkable by its manufacturers. It, however, defied all odds and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, on its maiden voyage. What was the real cause of the disaster? How did the unsinkable sink? It is said the ship was cursed by one of its passengers, who was not welcome on board. This story tells the strange and incredible tale.

      The Titanic Conspiracy

      The great ship, arguably the largest and most luxurious of ocean liners, at the time of its launch, and to date, the most famous, measuring 883 feet from stern to bow, a maximum breadth of 92.5 feet, and a height of 175 feet from the top of its funnels to the keel, sailed out of the Southampton harbor in England. The moment was finally here. That memorable event began in the early afternoon of Wednesday, April 10, 1912. The liner’s much discussed, and long awaited maiden voyage had begun.

      The ship’s departure out of the harbor, however, was not a smooth one. One would not expect such a commencement from a touted and anticipated event as this. The first minutes of the voyage was scary, if not terrifying for some passengers, as the great ship, while leaving port, passed too close to the steamer, SS New York. This closeness was a mere couple of feet, which witnesses considered a near miss. Nevertheless, the ship passed the SS New York safely, without any form of collision.
