The picture that would show the weather cover is the Fitting out profile photo. A shroud is not seen at all in the profile shot at the sea trials like Bob said. I think I see it in the fitting out profile photo but it is odd that what I see only cuts the very bottom starboard corner of the stokehold screen. This could be a result of the angle of the picture and the distance the shroud is from the stokehold screen or that the shroud is farther starboard then what is seen on the Olympic. My feeling is that since this is a stairway that goes inside the ship, why would it be open at the top?
I will look at the Olympic shroud again, maybe it could have been retractable down to a bulwark but I want to see a little more.
