I read once that all the bankers who were opposed to the Federal Reserve bank were on the ship and went down with it. Seems to be something that could be verified, if anyone had the time.

Less than a year after the Titanic sank, the 16th Amendment was ratified, creating a Federal income tax. Coincidence?

I rest my case.

The Federal Reserve conspiracy of the Titanic seems almost entirely based on claims that Benjamin Guggenheim, Isa Strauss, and John jacob Astor opposed the Federal Reserve and/or the income tax. There seems to be no evidence that any of the three actually opposed either.
