• The three ships should be called Olympic, Titanic and Gigantic.
• The two mammoth gantries where Olympic and Titanic were built were originally constructed in order to handle the building of three ships.
• Titanic was 46,328 gross tons large, she needed many more lifeboats than she carried.
• Though Olympic and Titanic were constructed from the same drawings, and were identical in most aspects, there were differences.
• Olympic was a promenade deck stretching the entire length of B-deck, but Ismay had noted that this area was hardly used by the passengers.
• Titanic was therefore changed in this detail, making room for more first class cabins. Two of the parlour suites on this deck thus received a private promenade deck on the Titanic.
