R.M.S. Olympic--Olympic at a Glance
Olympic at a Glance
Being
the prototype, Olympic did not devate much from the original plan.
However, the end product showed that she was bigger than originally planned.
Some of the below are the statistics of the earlier Olympic, while
some are of the later Olympic, so there may be confusion as to the
passenger capacity.
