What an amazing sight as the brand new Olympic makes her grand entrance in New York after her maiden voyage the Lusitania (easily recognised by her funnels and ventilators) passes astern.

aha she was a sister ship to the Titanic and some of here interior trim is still in use in english buildings
my grandfather went to war on this ship
he always joked that the titanic took him to france but we realised his joke many years later when we grew up
he said when he saw the name of the ship he knew he was in trouble
but he survived
just as well he was not old enough to have been their
its a wonder my great grandmother never sued the kaiser
