Britannic can be keft out of this so concentrate on the first two.

Now am sure Olympic was launched in white to show of the size. She was only painted in her final colours untill later. So why do a see pictures where you can see the open promanade deck the patternless windows and no pattern port house the calling cards of Olympic but it is said to be Titanic. Was Titanic also going to look exactly like Olympic and not changed until fitting out. It would seem that Olympic has been painted white, then black, then re-painted white, then back to black again. I have a photo which shows Olympic during fitting out just after it's funnels where put in place so this was obviously some time after the launch, you can clearly see she is painted in total white. There is then another pic of olympic at launch where there is no doubt it is Olympic but she is in her final colours. The only way I can really show you what a mean is by showing you the pictures. If you wan't them I will gladly show them jsut send me a PM. But it would seem then that someone may have hand painted these pictures for some reason.

I will finish this post when a get time.
