Titanic Olympic switchAtlas

Position A

Inquiry records and museum notes are read as identifying the 1912 hull as Titanic after ice contact, with matching seabed fittings and Olympic later service leaving a hull-swap unnecessary to the maritime record under comparison.

Falsification · This account would be weakened if hull numbers, wreck features, and yard records uniquely identified Olympic as the sank hull.

• British and U.S. inquiries treated Titanic as the ship that struck ice and sank.
• Wreck expeditions document features consistent with Titanic’s fit-out differences.
• Olympic continued in service for years after 1912, leaving a separate operational record.

• Assumption (moderate): Key terms in the A account are used in a stable operational sense across cited materials.
• Assumption (weak): The cited corpus for the A account is treated as sufficiently complete for comparative evaluation.
• Assumption (moderate): Counter-materials against the A account have been considered when stating the position.

Position B

Inquiry records and museum notes are read as compatible with the 1912 hull as Olympic after a swap, with mismatch fitting claims and Olympic later service leaving a Titanic-only story incomplete in the maritime record under comparison.

Falsification · This account would be weakened if switch-critical identifiers were shown impossible under Olympic-class construction records.

• Switch theorists emphasize alleged hull repairs and insurance incentives after Olympic damage.
• Selected photographic and porthole arguments are offered as identity mismatches.
• Elite passenger lists are sometimes folded into motive narratives beyond insurance.

• Assumption (weak): The cited corpus for the B account is treated as sufficiently complete for comparative evaluation.
• Assumption (moderate): Counter-materials against the B account have been considered when stating the position.
• Assumption (moderate): Key terms in the B account are used in a stable operational sense across cited materials.
