You say they lost, but they got insurance. they got a pay out when originally they stood to gain nothing at all. A loss yes, but not a TOTAL loss
It would have been a total loss....and a pointless one.....the insurance company was the parent company of White Star Line
How about evidence to suggest otherwise, rather than just saying so
I've provided it.....you just chose not to read it.
Saying "its been debunked" offers nothing. I could just as easily say your post has been debunked!

No. This is not a new theory and it's been thorough debunked before.
You are quite clearly another poster who comments without looking at whats presented. WATCH THE VIDEO! It explains quite clearly why the sunken Olympic has the Titanics propeller!
For one thing the number on one of the screws on the wreck is from the Titanic.
I think you ought to read what you just wrote!!!
And your mention of the Norwegian sealer is 100% wrong. This has been looked at before. The sealer was the Sampson and it was nowhere near the Titanic when it sank.

Cover was for 12 months on hull and machinery, valued at £1 million for each ship.

What? You said olympic was 400 and titanic was 401 and then say the prop showed 401. Where's the discrepancy? 401 hull on the titanic and 401 on the prop bear each other out. And your post got stars showing poor reading comprehension of those who starred you.

"Different pitch" propellor causing "extreme vibration", uhrm.........no.
Propeller Induced Vibration
Propeller induced vibration can be caused by inaccuracies in pitch, camber and section shape. Prop Scan allows us to see and remove these inaccuracies. This results in a smoother, more efficient and often faster propeller. Bring in your propellers for a free examination, we will need information from your vessel performance form.

As for the value of the insurance claim - well, it's been noted that there was a 2.5million difference between the cost of the ship and the insurance value... but how much would the repairs have cost?
How viable this is with the Titanic/Olympic rather depends on how much the repairs would have cost.
