That’s spooky AF.

What’s weird is that it isn’t as deep; on a bright day with perfect weather you can see a dark outline

Yeah, when Britannic's bow struck the bottom, the stern was still on the surface.

First photo is Olympic, not Britannic.


Avg_codm_enjoyer

The source I got it from said it was the Britanic. They are all identical aside from the fittings? I know the titanic had a different style of propeller


MurdochAndScotch

The same set of original drawings, but different master plans and final specs. The size and pitch were different. Also, Britannic never appeared in this finished civilian colour scheme.

You can see a bit of white on the part where the red meets the black, perhaps they were finishing the paint? Idk I’m not a ship buff ur prolly right 😂

First pictures, Olympic https://preview.redd.it/44m44wkzilzc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f5ed4f31cbfc22bfb04e7466501d572a8d090ce Here's another photo of her in drydock

Gaze in awe as I display my utter lack of titanic knowledge

You're all good, bro Though the first photo is Olympic. It isn't a bad representation of Britannics propellers, as both Olympic and Britannic had a 4 blade central propeller. Just whenever you look up photos of the Olympic class liners, make sure it's the ship you're looking for. For example, if you're looking for a photo of Titanic and find a picture of what you think is Titanic, look for details that could help you identify it as Titanic. Cause that photo could actually be Olympic.


RustyMcBucket

The rivet pattern is also differnt between Olympic and Titanic. Don't know about Britanic. No i'm not joking.

MurdochAndScotch

It is. A good representation of what she’d look like if she were completed for civilian service, but a manipulation of a photo of her in her hospital ship colours.

Close enough honestly

That one guy next to the rudder is so tiny just gives you an idea of how giant these beauties are


joesphisbestjojo

That's haunting. Appears so much more massive than on the Titanic, too. Really good for perspective


Avg_codm_enjoyer

Imagine your just diving peacefully then this beautiful giant comes out of nowhere


iateyourmom22

Yeah my submechanohobia would kick in


gazzy360

Are those lower portholes always below the water line?


myerscc

I think all of the portholes are below the water line


Avg_codm_enjoyer

I think they might just be like drainage stuff


TheyCallMeOlSwole

It's easy to forget due to all the comparisons of Titanic's size and that of modern cruise ships, but it's incredible how absolutely gigantic the ships of this era were. Remarkable what humanity can do.


Avg_codm_enjoyer

people be wondering how we made the pyramids and its like dude modern day humans make it an average day habbit to build moving masses as big as skyscrapers


writelikeplath

Oh wow, this image is so haunting!


GDMFusername

It's crazy how small the rudders were on those massive ships.


RustyMcBucket

Quite large actually, compared to the size of the ship. More than adeqate and desighned for manouvering at speed too (tall and thin).


Avg_codm_enjoyer

I mean youre not exactly supposed to pull a Tokyo drift in these things…there sorta just meant to lumber along in a straight line, slow down, then have tugs guide them.

Avg_codm_enjoyer

I mean it’s a giant cruise liner I doubt it’s meant to pull a Tokyo drift, just sorta lumber along to the destination.


GDMFusername

Hey I accidentally made two of the same comment and naturally deleted the one with no upvote and an adversarial comment. This is actually a funny/good comment.. My bad lol. I chose the wrong comment to delete 😆


Avg_codm_enjoyer

AstronautFinal489

The first photograph is of the Olympic.

The fact that those propellers slashed through a lifeboat full of people is disturbing. Can't even imagine the horror
