The sinking of the Titanic is one of the most well-known tragedies in history. However, there are some who believe that there is more to the story than just a ship hitting an iceberg. According to these conspiracy theories, the sinking of the Titanic was orchestrated to further the interests of powerful banking families and the creation of the Federal Reserve.

The conspiracy theory states that in 1910, ten powerful men met on Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia to plan the creation of the US Federal Reserve Bank. Among these men were representatives of the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and JP Morgan. However, there were also opposition to the creation of the Fed, including Benjamin Guggenheim, Isidor Strauss, and John Jacob Astor, all of whom were on the Titanic and died in the disaster.

JP Morgan, it is said, owned International Mercantile Marines, a trust he had formed to monopolize trade routes. Because of this, he controlled the White Star Line, which built the Titanic and its sister ships, the Olympic and the Britannic. In 1911, the Olympic had two incidents at sea, one of which involved a crash with the HMS Hawks. The Royal Navy investigated the crash and found the Olympic at fault, which meant the White Star Line would not receive damages. The conspiracy theory claims that JP Morgan simply repaired the Olympic, swapped it with the Titanic, and sank the ship in order to receive the damages he felt he was owed.

While there is no concrete evidence to support these claims, the idea that the Titanic sinking was more than just a tragic accident continues to be a popular conspiracy theory. It raises questions about the power and influence of the financial elite and the role they may have played in one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history.
