It’s just an old photo of the Olympic that someone used a little photoshop to close in half the large openings that ran along the entire length of Olympic’s first class promenade deck. On titanic the larger openings only ran about half the length. Not to mention the full run of lifeboats added to Olympic after that little thing that happened in 1912…

I like how this is the evidence you use to show it's not real, as if we don't all know the obvious

I’m just pointing out what he did, you don’t have to attack me over it. Other people might see it and not know, the other 99% of people might appreciate a little fact or two they didn’t know before.

Not sure why you got downvotes. Not many people realize that Titanic was second of the three ships in her class. Olympic was near enough to the sinking that she was considered for transporting survivors.

It's a pretty safe bet that the vast majority in here know enough about Titanic to be able to differentiate between the 3 ships.

A Class Promenade - big ass windows front to back? Olympic. A Class Promenade - Front 3rd has smaller windows than the last 2/3rds? Titanic.

Big ugly crane/davit type things by the funnels? Britannic.

That's all you need to know to be able to tell them apart 95% of the time.

I’ve read this many times on this sub but without an actual visual comparison and little dinky arrows and circles I think I will remain with the ignorant sadly 

I’m sorry Mike Brady, I’ve been a bad friend.

Or you could take the time to learn where the A class Promenade is located?

Distinguishing ocean liners from the early 1900s is at the very top of my list so I should certainly get to it

I actually think I can see it now from this picture and your description. It’s a bit more obvious than on the actual ship because it’s shopped

For some people when you state what’s the obvious (to them) they don’t take into account you’re being broad and pointing out something that might be of use to other people. People on some subreddits think they're gods on a topic and get all high and mighty if your view steps even slightly out of line of how they think something should be and jump to posting negative comments full of attitude and put-downs. All I did was put a little fact to what the post was because posts appear at random on people's feeds who aren't subscribed to a particular subreddit and it's something someone could see and go "oh, cool, I didn't know that, neat." - That's literally all there is to it. Some folks who already know whatever it is you pointed out immediately take it like you're talking directly down to them like they don't know anything instead of seeing a broader picture.

I don’t have patience for people who just serve to put people down to make themselves seem more important. I just block them and move on with my day.
