In reference to the Olympic Photo, I happened to be watching
a 2-hour TV special called "Titanic: Secrets Revealed"
which in the second half of the show, has a photo of
the Titanic after launch (this appears in Titanic: An
Illustrated History) on page 23. The quality of the
photo shown on the special is superior to that in the
book. The line is distinctive, going around the
poop deck, with the ships' name clearly visible.
Unfortunately, I am unable to get the image off the
TV to scan.
Also on page 19 of the same book, there is a color
painting of the Mauretania that has this same type
stripe.
This should once and for all settle the matter.
Cheers,
Mike Turano
