I love this image. I can't quite explain why but it just looks like Olympic is thoroughly unimpressed with Empress of Britain's existence

Finally got to revise and rebuilt my Marconi cable riggings for my RMS Titanic in 1/360 scale - built in 2022 from a XF CC Lee model kit, with aftermarket parts from Tom's Modelworks, and resin printed parts from China 3D.

Titanic fitting out in Belfast.
I used to attend auctions of Titanic and shipping memorabilia locally and at one auction house they were selling off boxes of research material that was collected for James Cameron's Titanic movie. Included in one lot was a binder packed full of historic photos of the ship, most with the photographer's names or companies printed on the back, some of them were blown up prints of small issue postcards, which is what I think this one is.

I present to you, the Kronprinzessin Cecilie, the German ocean liner that disguised as Olympic
Her captain had the tops of her funnels painted black to imitate Olympic as a form of defense at the breakout of WW1. Funnily enough, it didn't work very well

Did Olympic blame herself for the loss of her sister, since her accidents delayed Titanic's voyage to a season with more icebergs about?

Olympic knew. Olympic got the SOS and was just too far away to help.
This should not be hitting me as hard as it is but. One of the triplets knew and there was nothing she could do about it.
