True, but not only that, The Olympic was the first of the three, and hence
they were all classed as Olympic-class ships. Titanic was almost identical
to Olympic as regards size, but was holding more equipment, and was
heavier, which gave her the title of biggest ship... Hehe... But you're so
much more likely to remember the Titanic for sinking than the Olympic for
being scrapped...
