Well, I must say that's a new one on me. Couple problems with that though...

1) If the plan was to turn INTO iceberg-infested waters, why did Capt Smith turn farther SOUTH, thinking he was missing the mass ice flow?

2) The insurance would have presented a problem, since most of the claims took almost 3 years to settle after the disaster, and MOST for under what the items claimed were worth.

3) And really, what are the chances you're gonna purposly build a ship out of half-ass steel, HOPING all your enemies are going to be on it at the same time (during iceberg season no less) so you can sink it?

I'm not trying to blast the theory, just a couple questions it makes me ask.
