Titanic was more or less a copy of Olympic, which was an upscaled Adriatic, the final ship of the Big Four, which was a larger version of RMS Oceanic, which was an improvement of the Teutonic Twins, which on appearance seemed to replace the orginal Britannic & Germanic, which were a modernized version of the Original Oceanic Class which was the first series of ships Thomas Ismay had ordered for the newly bought White Star Line.

I am here at the White Swan now. I was grateful for your video before I arrived. It's a stunning room. I'm in awe as I gaze around thinking of the great and the good that came in contact with all this on those transatlantic crossings.

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I sincerely hope you enjoyed your time at the White Swan and thanks again for watching!

Celebrity Cruise Lines 4 Millenium Class ships each had a speciality restaurant themed to historic ocean liners. The first, Millenium, had "The Olympic Room" with original paneling from Olympic's dining room. The other ships had "SS United States Restaurant" (Infinity), "The Normandie Restaurant" (Summit) and "Ocean Liners" (Constellation). The latter had artifacts and decorations from various historic liners, including paneling from the "Ile de France". Unfortunately, during renovations in 2012, the speciality restaurants on all 4 ships were updated and the orginal paneling removed. Apparently the newer Edge Class ships have a Normandie dining room each but looking at the pictures it merely seems inspired by Normandie's design. I couldn't find any informations as to what happened to the paneling that was removed from the Millenium Class ships.

Apparently, there are plans to reinstate the paneling on a new cruise ship!

most people dont realise that titanic was the second launched of two near identicle twins

[@jeanettesarnella9278]

It has been said that it was not the Titanic that sank but the other ship Olympic that sank!

[@lorenzpere9653]

Since I have seen this conspiracy multiple times, here's the truth. Although the letters on titanic were believed to be bolted on, the outline of the letters were actually etched into the hull, and the inside painted a bright yellow, making it impossible to easily switch the ships. Also the open promenade on Olympic went all the way down the ship, while on titanic it only went halfway.

I wonder what happened to the fixtures and fittings of the Britannic that were removed when it was converted to a hospital ship.

[@WhatstheHistory]

I'm definitely going to make a video covering this!
