Why don't we have a little bit of fun, and create our own "Olympic" class liners? The 3 sisters were great, but I'm sure we all would have loved to see a fourth ship. Maybe one with the best bits in engineering, cosmetically, or comfort wise of the other ships. Each Entry will include a basic history and description of the liner, including changes made, the date launched, completed, and when the keel was laid. Oh, and the name. It doesn't have to be shot down by WWI, or the fact that they were four stackers(Or anything really, after all, it's just for fun!). I wasn't too happy with "Homeric," so I wondered, "What if there was a fourth 'Olympic' class liner instead?"
