Hi Superbowl i have to agree with you it was only an opinion and everyone is entitled to those.No doubt you are like me always looking forward to answers, they ill come eventually just carry on as you are,and don't take it to heart on some of the comments you get. You asked a question re- portholes on Titanic and Olympic at present i'm looking this up as i have so many books and data on disc's that it takes time but as soon as i have got any info i'll let you have it.

The Olympic was the smaller of three ships constructed, measuring 882.5 feet long and weighing 45,323 tons; the Titanic was the middle ship and only slightly larger at 883 feet long, weighing 46,328 tons; the Britanic was the largest of the three, but I don't have any specs on it.
The differences between the Olympic and the Titanic were their portholes and their placement. I believe both had four smokestacks (three functioning, and a fourth on both for aesthetics). That's about all I know. Hope that helps! |

Lets see, the Olympic had the word "Olympic" on it, as well as it's own number, and Titanic had the word "Titanic" on it with it's number on all of it's parts lol. If I can recall correctly, I think the Titanic had a pool and the Olympic did not. Correct me if I'm wrong, I also need to go back and look at this stuff to make sure I get everything right before posting. There wre also some safety modifications made on the Olympic, after the Titanic sank. So those would be some differences as well.
As for the Britannic, well that was turned into a hospital ship so there of course would be some major differences appearance wise, but this ship was also fitted with large davits that could swing over to the opposite side of the ship to pick up life boats if needed (say if the ship was listing to one side too much). That's all i can come up with at the moment. Jessica Jessica |

_ Booty u are a good guy. I would like to now some facts about the differences of the 2 ships, other then the ovious ones like the open first class prominade deck! I started this post on this topic only. I leave for a day a get back and I see nothing but conspericy theory B S. I dont believe in that theory. I know lots about the Titanic, and Britannic, and a little on the Olympic, but I wanna know what made the Titanic the Titanic, compared to Olympic. The 2 ships are virtualy the same. Just wanna know what the little difference were like, say was the Titanic longer, or heavier. I think the Olympic was the greatest ocean liner of them all just cause it didnt sink.
