On April 10, 1912, the Titanic started his first voyage, the Titanic is also known as the "Dream Ship" and the world's largest at that time, the interior facilities are extremely luxurious passenger cruise ship, and there is also a title is "unsinkable" Now it seems ironic that this title seems ironic, but according to the design technology at the time, the ship is impossible to sink.
The first voyage also brought together famous celebrities and rich people from all over the world, but in the process of sailing, they encountered an iceberg, because they didn't have time to dodge, they collided directly with the iceberg, which instantly broke the Titanic into two, resulting in 1514 people killed, including the captain Edward John Smith and the chief designer of the Titanic, Thomas Andrews, but the strange thing is that eight top celebrities and rich people did not board this cruise ship before sailing, There is a lot of speculation and conspiracy theories, so why didn't they get on board?
Three Great Schools
Theodore Dreiser, a famous American novelist, asked him to choose a cheap ship because of the publisher's suggestion, probably because the publisher took into account the problem of finance, so he changed to a cheap ship, and the ticket price of the Titanic was ridiculously high at that time, which was why he survived.
Guillermo Marconi was an Italian inventor and pioneer of wireless telegraphy, and he made many contributions to radio, and just before he was about to get on the ship, he changed to another cruise ship, "Lusitania", because of his work, so that he also escaped.
John Mott, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and American Christian leader, chose the cheaper "Lapland" because of his religious beliefs.
The Big Five
Milton Hershey, the founder of Hershey's Chocolate, changed his voyage because his wife suddenly changed her travel plans, and finally took the German cruise ship "America", and now it is not clear why his wife changed her plans, but it was this move that successfully saved herself.
Henry Clay Frick, the steel king of the United States, also changed his boarding because of his wife, but not because his wife changed his plans, but because his wife was suddenly injured and gave up boarding for treatment.
JP Morgan is an American financial tycoon, a well-known figure on Wall Street in the United States, he didn't get on the boat because he had fun in France and wanted to continue playing in France, but he didn't expect to save his life if he had fun.
Alfred Gwyney Vanderbilt, the heir to the Vanderbilt family and a very good family, for unknown reasons, chose to give up boarding the ship at the last minute when it was about to leave, although he saved his life this time, but was tragically killed in the attack on the Lusitania three years later.
Although it seems very bizarre, these celebrities and rich people are all coincidental and death brushes shoulders, because these people are celebrities and rich people so they attract the attention of the public, so they will travel all kinds of conspiracy theories, maybe there are many people who did not board the ship, but they are not very famous so everyone does not pay attention to it at all.
