For anything related to the White Star Lines Olympic class vessels.
Titanic talk is ok, but would prefer majority of stuff be about Olympic or Britannic.

When is the new one setting sail? I understand it's almost completed.

it's a floating hotel, frankly the only good job left for large passenger ship
>>1701746
have you ever thought of the logistics of that? The supposed switch happening in 44 days before Titanic even received her dummy funnel?

I don't think he's referring to the Chinese Titanic, I think he's referring to the Clive Palmer, of which I know nothing of its status.

You can view high quality images of the Olympic class liners from Harland & Wolff's official photographer Robert Welch on the NMNI website.

If you filter by year you can zone in on some really rare and high quality photos of the construction of Olympic/Titanic/Britannic

Piece of shit ships, really. Really does fit in well with the other local failure - the DeLorean.

Both were shit, and both were imortalised in movies for Americans to fawn over.

I disagree, Olympic herself was quite reliable in her career, especially in the first world war. As for public reception, well, I did say I wanted to keep discussion away from Titanic as much as possible.

She was a beautiful ship, shame she never saw passenger service. I must say, I would've loved to watch those davits pick up boats and lower them, must've been a sight at the time. Harland and Wolf were masters of the craft.

Anyone know of the compass platform? What was the point of this on a ship? Were pocket compasses not invented yet?
