A Titanic Deception
This is the REAL story of the tragic events of 14th / 15th April 1912.
In 1907 JP Morgan, who was head of the huge conglomerate corporation of the same name and also ultimate owner of the White Star shipping line decided to build 3 giant liners with a mandate of becoming the most luxurious in the world, the Olympic, Titanic and Britannic.
The ships were almost (but not quite) identical and so he commissioned Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast to commence construction in 1908. A massive investment of money was required, financed by JP personally and it was a huge gamble by Morgan. The entire plan depended on absolutely everything going right, but as we will see, the whole enterprise was beset with problems, ultimately ending in tragedy of course.
