The RMS Olympic only used this quantity of boats after the sinking of the Titanic right?

Ah, what a look! That gold line on the top part of her black-colored section, and more importantly, all those lifeboats!

Very lovely, I really like the yellow band below the superstructure, it makes her feel...opulent.
Truly excellent. Well done~!

No problem, say...what's with the windows on forward B-Deck? Did White Star add another restaurant?

where abouts on B-Deck?

Under the first funnel.

No, I think they were cabins, the b-deck promenade had been closed up to add more room

Oh really? Awesome!
Did you know that after Cunard and White Star merged, they closed down Olympic's A'la Carte?

True!
Cunardβs naval architect, Leonard Peskett, felt that the restaurant created βa new class of passengerβ β aloof from other first class diners, or the crΓ¨me de la crΓ¨me of first class. He felt that this was a major objection, despite the revenue possibilities. When the German liner Imperator joined Cunardβs fleet and was renamed Berengaria, her a'la carte restaurant was removed and instead the room served as a ballroom; after the Cunard White Star merger in 1934, the a'la carte restaurants onboard both Olympic and Majestic were closed down before the yearβs end.

I only count 28 (assuming each on the starboard has a port counterpart) lifeboats, was that really sufficient for all aboard?

there is actually 30 life boats there, including the two collapseables and the one being held over the side at the front. 10 more than what Titanic had. I think if they were filled to capasity, there is more than enough. If Titanic's were filled alot more could of been saved

So true; it's just good they didn't have to go overkill with that giant gantry cranes like they did on Britannic.

the ones on Britannic were new and could house larger lifeboats on top of each other so there would be plenty of deck space still for passengers

and those motorized ones as well. If I recall correctly Violet Jessop got picked up by one of those after she fell overboard and smacked her head on the keel.

that is really neat. To bad she couldnt become a musuem ship.

yes but she accepted a great sacrifice to bring work to thousands of poor suffering families in the depressed areas of Jarrow and Inverkeithing.

that is very true at least her death had a good meaning in the end.

And I think they also wanted to retire her as her reliable self because perhaps they thought eventually her luck would have run out. thankfully she didnt have to see such tragic end.

true unlike Titanic and Britannic. So sad that Britannic never got a chance to be a liner because of World war I

But you did a great job.
