The older and more aged sister ship Olympic was disguised as the Titanic(which wasn't hard to do,the two ships were completely identical) and was sunk on purpose in an insurance fraud.The Olympic was already years away from failing and needing to be scrapped,which would produce much less money than what the insurance would give if it were to accidentaly sink.
The captain of the so called "Titanic" was instructed to purposely drive the ship into dangerous waters and slide it past an iceberg to buy as much time possible for the passengers to escape(that didn't work out well,as the iceberg did much more damage than planned).The Carphatia being magically close was also staged,the ship was instructed to be there to pick up the passengers.

The real Titanic then sailed years later under the name Olympic earning the nickname "Old Reliable" which was given due to the ship's outstanding condition for its age(Which was fake).
