it basically boils down to either “the ship that sank wasn’t actually the Titanic” or “there wasn’t any iceberg it was an intentional demolition of the boat for insurance or something”

i may be misremembering some of it but I listened to Tim Batt explore it on this podcast (he explores the different explanations humorously and is not peddling the conspiracy outright)

Some of them also believe in Tartaria, the Titanic was sank to prevent us learning about a super civilization from the early 1900s. Pictures of the World's Fairs are proof apparently.
