You seem to agree with the writer of the postscript in both reprints of the shipbuilder for Olympic and Aquitania .
Well , I don't . The ships were entirely different designs , coming on from entirely different lineage .
I think they both have their charm , although the boat deck of the Aquitania looks like a wasteland of ventilators and scattered houses . Had to build a model to really figure out how it was .By the way have you ever had a look at the upperworks of Queen Mary ? They are highly reminiscent of Aquitania ...
This is no beauty contest , and if you go into details I would rate Normandie first , with Bremen a close second (with short funnels).
Regards.
