Titanic Conspiracy

The Porter came across some original thought (a first in his area of the kingdom) yesterday. The emergence of a rumour, about a week ago, came as a shock and a happy red-herring to the Porter's daily life. His routine upset, and his coffee cold, he began to dig into the hear-say to establish the truth and indeed the significance behind it whilst listening to the 'Stars and Stripes forever march'. Post-newt readers must agree that the mysterious sinking of the Titanic is best explained by this simple explanation. It never sank. So says our rumour. We know that the Titanic cost the owners far more than they could afford; running well over budget. Our rumour suggests that the Titanic is still to be found in a sleepy port in Vietnam where it was taken by the Captain. The owners made enormous insurance claims successfully. All were happy. That is until post-newt brought the Titanic to the surface- literally. With hindsight it is easy to patronise the past. But come on. The strongest ship ever built sinks and everyone believes blindly. What about people who lost relatives. I have formulated two explanations for this. Firstly, the Crew pushed them all over board and stole their money. A very lucrative and yet inhumane solution. Or a second explanation is that they were all taken to Vietnam, and told it was America.
