Bell is right, there is foundation for a argument on this issue. I don't believe Titanic was rushed necessarily, but I do see where the Harland & Wolff workers of course tried their hardest to do it as fast as possible. They needed the money to support their familes, and the faster they worked, the more money they got.
I do believe that the decision by H&W to use parts from the Titanic to help get the Olympic back into service as quickly as possible was the right thing to do. Lord Pirrie knew that Ismay was in the business to make money, and without the Olympic on the sea, they would definetly be hurting. Titanic was still in the fitting out stages, so not repairing Olympic as fast as possible and just taking their time would result in a greater loss of profit than just taking the parts already in place on Titanic and getting Olympic back out on the sea. Also, Olympic's demise was definetly premature in my opinion, Mark Chirnside, author of "RMS Olympic: Titanic's sister" wrote a great article on this exact theory. It is quite interesting. Here is the link for it: http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/item/1502/ |
