Hi!

In a word, no. The differences are quite small.

Harland & Wolff's plan specifications note that the two ships were exactly the same length and breadth, contrary to some 1911-12 news reports that Olympic was three inches shorter.

In terms of gross tonnage Olympic measured 45,323.82 gross tons in 1911, which rose to 46,358 tons in 1913 (and 46,439 tons 1920). Titanic's gross tonnage in 1912 was 46,328 tons. Hence she was the larger of the two when she sank.

With regard to displacement, most sources state that the two ships displaced some 52,250 tons at a draft of 34 feet 7 inches. If anything, Titanic was slightly heavier, although there are interesting reports that Olympic was a little heavier than her sister at the time of their respective launchings -- due to the state of completion she was in.

another difference ,is the titanic defenetly more luxurious than the olympic, and if you see the two ship the titanic have close deck in front of the ship ,not the olympic!!!

THanks for your Information Mark, big help, and thank you too Thunderking, altho i kinda guessed all that anyway

I've heard that the stateroom windows on B deck of the Titanic were spaced irregularly, while the windows on B deck of the Olympic were all spaced evenly, the same distance apart. If you look at pictures of the two next to each other I think this is visible. Also, each ship had a different serial number stamped upon it in various places such as the propellers, etc. Aside from the closed promenade deck, these are the only differences I've heard of! :D

There are many, many more minor differences. I would post them but haven't got the time. See Bruce Beveridge and Steve Hall's book: 'Olympic & Titanic: The Truth Behind the Conspiracy.'
