Please do not take this as gospel as I have little recollection of the full story which came about in a Belfast bar during an evenings drinking (that may explain the missing parts ). Harland and Wolfe the shipyard where the titanic was built was one of if not the Largest employer in Belfast at the time. The sister ship reurned to dry dock following the collision and was I beleive in the dock next to the Titanic. It was in fact one of the workers who first put forward the idea that whilst undergoing repair, cosmeic changes were made to the Olympic etc etc and so the conspiracy theory was born. It does make an interesting and in part convincing read if you manage to get hold of the book from the library. Maybe we should ask over at the cruising forum how many apology points survivors were given?
