Ready to revisit one of history's greatest maritime mysteries with a glass of Old Smoky Moonshine in hand? Join us for the return of Drunk Conspiracies, featuring our special guest and my cousin of 24 years, Fallon D'Anna-Sheffer! We're not just catching up; we're diving headfirst into the captivating and tragic tale of the RMS Titanic. From its grand construction in Belfast to its infamous sinking, we explore the staggering costs behind the ship and the blockbuster movie, adding layers to our understanding and sparking lively debate.
Ever wondered if the Titanic's demise was more than an unfortunate accident? Fallon and I explore some eyebrow-raising theories, like the infamous fire theory that might have weakened the hull, making the ship more vulnerable to the iceberg. And what about financier JP Morgan? Could he have orchestrated the disaster to eliminate business rivals? We also touch on the heroic survival story of Charles Joughin, the ship's head baker, who might owe his life to a drunken state. Expect plenty of twists and turns as we unravel these stories, challenging the conventional narrative we've all been taught.
But that's not all—we're diving deep into conspiracies you might never have considered. Was the Titanic swapped with its sister ship, the Olympic, in a monumental insurance fraud? Did Captain Edward Smith play a controversial role in the disaster? And how about those lifeboats—why were they so few, and was it a ploy for aesthetic appeal or something more sinister? With a dash of humor and a splash of speculation, we even reminisce about Mythbusters tackling the age-old question: Could Jack have fit on the door with Rose? Tune in for a thought-provoking and spirited discussion that promises to offer a fresh perspective on one of history's most infamous disasters.
