Is this the Olympic

[Darren Clossin]

I recently purchased the attached stereo view card- Its not labeled as to which ship it is tho- I thought maybe this image is in a book somewhere? I'd love it to turn out to be the Titanic, but I think its more likely the Olympic. If it IS the Titanic, they havent yet enclosed the upper promenade deck. Thanks for your help!
If the pic isnt too clear you can see it on eBay still: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...ampid=5335818172&icep_uq=rms+olympic+postcard

{85852,Olympic maybe}

Darren:

The Steroview in question appears to be one of the Big Four - It in my opinion it appears to be the Celtic. Or it could be the Oceanic as there are a series of Streoviews of her in Construction.

Whichever ship it is, it certainly isn't any one of the Olympic class ships. The slip is all wrong (No gantry) and she appears to be a twin screw vessel and there's no well deck aft like what was done with the Olympics.

I saw this photo a while back somewhere and it is credited as Cedric.

This photo is also featured on the RMS Republic site, within the photo gallery of that site, and while it does not clearly state that this ship is indeed RMS Republic, it very strongly suggests so...

Hello I'm new here...

Can't be Olympic because Olympic was white at the stage of competion - i think

 

[Jeremy Lee]

Its definately NOT the Olympic or her sisters because there was no Great Gantry!

I haven't really compared the photo to RMS Republic's external rigging profile. The photo on our site was provided only as an indication of H&W's yard. Circa 1903? Republic, of course, was built in 1903, as well as Arabic.
