: For the skeptic among you who doesn't believe that
: "the truth is out there" I am now able to offer photographic proof of the thin line around the stern of the Olympic that runs around the poop deck below the ship name and port name. I e-mailed a copy to Sean so he could put a link to it on the board. I am not sure when he will be able to get to it so if anyone wants me to email them a copy just drop me a line. The photo is from a 1976 double issue of the Titanic Commutator about the Olympic. The specific photo credit is not given but other maiden voyage photos like this one are either attributed to the Mariners Museum or the Library of Congress. In later postings we can debate the color. I wanted to get past debating its existence.

Bob,
Could be that the "Olympic" had the "stripe", but I must agree with Jason that there are doubtful evidence on the "Titanic stripe" photos, which can be "mistaken" as a reflection of dull paint from the raised "half round iron bar" (whatever the right name is)
I give a pennny to the guy that have the proof.
regards
