Some people are just idiots... YEAH, how would they somehow be able to switch the ships around in Belfast without it being noticed by at least SOMEONE, even though the moment in which the Olympic arrived at Belfast for repairs after her collision were fully recorded? And you would at least THINK that one of the many thousands of shipyard workers in Belfast would have spoken of it later, or recorded it in his private journal. And if the two ships were switched around for insurance reasons, then wouldn't the White Star Line attempt to announce to it's workers in Belfast that it was SECRET? And if it was secret, then why is there so much photographic material collected from the entire 'fitting out' process? And someone with adult thought-processing would at least care enough to realize that it would have taken, many, MANY more months to actually switch the ships around than it would have to repair the gashes made by the H.M.S. Hawke in the Olympic's hull, and it would have been far costlier.
Anybody with at least half a brain can tell that the two ships WERE NOT SWITCHED.... Distinctive structural features... The fact that the Titanic had an extra restaurant and staterooms from day one, while the Olympic didn't... The fact that Titanic was Yard #401, while the Olympic was #400. The more observant experts among us would know that #401 is still stamped on parts of the wreck site of Titanic, including her starboard propeller. Do you think that White Star would actually go to the trouble to switch such an insignificant thing around?
These idiots who actually believe that the two ships were switched around deserve to have a nice slap in the face.
