What if the Titanic never sank at all? What if it was another ship made to look like the Titanic?

Here I will be explaining a series of conspiracy theories that lead some people to believe that the Titanic never really sank at all. The theory states that it was not the Titanic that sank but a sister ship, made by the same company, called the Olympic. The evidence behind these theories is compelling and may lead you to doubt everything you thought you knew. . .

First the reasoning as to why some people believe the Titanic never really sank at all:

The Titanic was built by White Star Line at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Northern Ireland, but this company also made other ships , for example the Olympic. Rumour has it that the Olympic was on its last legs due to a collision in 1911 when the boat crashed into a warship. The company was blamed for the accident and therefore was unable to receive an insurance payout. As a result, the company created a new ship called the Titanic, but just before the sail they swapped the new ship with the old one, the Olympic, and set that to sail. White Star Line knew it would sink and they would be able to claim insurance as it was a new ship.

Next, the evidence:
