belfasttelegraph.co.uk	WAS IT REALLY TITANIC THAT SANK? An event like the Titanic disaster will always attract conspiracy theories but can we really believe that the ship that struck the iceberg on that fateful night wasn't, in fact, the Titanic at all? In Robin Gardiner's detailed book, Titanic: The Ship that Never Sank?, he claims that the loss of the ship was the result of an insurance claim that went badly wrong. Imagine, if you will, that the Titanic's near identical sister ship The Olympic was severely damaged in a collision while sailing from Southampton. The cruiser HMS Hawke smashed into the side of the Olympic and an inquiry later exonerated the Hawke of all blame....	24th March 2012

thesun.co.uk	WAS WINSTON CHURCHILL TO BLAME FOR TITANIC? Author Robert Strange, an investigative journalist and former newspaper crime reporter, claims Britain's Second World War Prime Minister had a previously unrecognised, inglorious role in the loss of the vessel on her maiden voyage in 1912. As a newly-promoted government minister, Churchill had final responsibility for all marine safety when the Titanic was being planned, designed and built. Yet he failed in his duties as President of the Board of Trade to ensure that the ship was properly constructed and that her passengers were safe, the author claims. Strange says: "Churchill was fatally distracted from his vitally important safety duties by a combination of burning political ambition, wounded pride and the pursuit of his future wife Clementine. ...	26th March 2012
