No evidence of this has ever been found in the wreck or elsewhere, and if it were true, those thousands of shipyard workers must have been awfully good at staying quiet about it. For the ships to be switched, which is supposed to have happened in an extremely short time, thousands of workers would have had to switch thousands of fittings between the two ships, not to mention make many major and minor changes to both ships to make them resemble the other in their details. One can look at archival evidence, you could just go down to the wreck, or you can just use common sense.

There are many ways to go about debunking this ridiculous conspiracy. According to this idea, things didn’t quite go right, and so people died, but it’s supposed to be Olympic down there on the ocean floor. The switch conspiracy, largely formulated and/or popularized by Robin Gardiner, posits that the Titanic and her identical sister ship Olympic were switched with each other while Titanic was under construction, and that it was Olympic that was supposed to be intentionally sunk as part of an insurance scam. One of the things that makes me most angry is when people push the Titanic/Olympic switch conspiracy “theory”. Those who follow me might know that sometimes I get very easily and very much annoyed by some things in the Titanic world.
