Description
Since i have updated my drawings of Titanic and Britannic i decided to finish the set with RMS Olympic.She was the first of the Olympic Class and the last and even survived a World War.
And yet the Olympic is the least known of the three sisters.

is this how she looked before the titanic sank because it looks like she has the same amount of lifeboats as her sister ship and last time i check all ship now have more lifeboats then that.

Fantastic work most images about of the titanic are mostly of the Olympic as there where only slight differences mainly the forward portholes and after its collision with the naval frigate it was brought back into Harland & Wolf, Belfast at the same time the Titanic was in dry dock one and they where made nearly identical people believe they swapped the ships in dock and it was the Olymic that sank for the insurance.
I'm from Belfast and alot of my family worked at H&W over the years i was brought up on all this at the end of the day it made Northern Ireland famous well that and terrorism.

yea, i heard that conspiracy theory on the name switching too but Olympic had a longer B-deck Promenade and an completely open A-Deck promenade at the time. they would of had to switch that too

I once bought a Titanic t-shirt that actually had a picture of the Olympic on it. I guess the t-shirt people didn't know the difference, but the partially-open promenade deck gives it away!

I wonder why the Olympic was the least known. I think it was probably the Britannic that was. She never served a commercial voyage and I read that it was almost forgotten. Probably today she's more well-known than she used to be thanks to the 2000 movie.
But as for the Olympic I read that she was a very popular ship to sail on back in the 1920s, and the reason was that people wanted to see what it was like to sail on the Titanic since the two ships resembled one another. The only easily notable difference is the look of A-deck promenade.
And I don't know if you know this or not, but not only did she survive the Great War, but she was the only known merchant ship to sink an enemy vessel. Having been involved in at least three collisions (one before WWI, one during WWI, and one after WWI), the one during WWI was no doubt the most fortunate for her.
But, anyway, nice job on this illustration here. Please keep it up!

all these damn pony icons disgust me. the ship however is flawless. if anyone ever tries to do MLP/Titanic crossover I will personally hunt them down and slaughter them in the dead of night. It may not happen the day they do it, but I will come for them in due time.

I am a brony after all and i do think a cross over along those lines have been done, not seen one yet. I adore Titanic so i don't approve of such things anyway

yes because Titanic's name doesnt need to be tarnished by passengers walking on all four...stubs

I've done all three Olympic class including Queen Mary and Lusitania and her sisters, they don't deserve being made fun of.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well the Olympic Class Liners were only Titanic Olympic and Britannic. Lusitania Mauretania Queen Mary were different class, Queen Mary being the largest

yes i know, but each have a history that doesn't deserve to be mocked.
