To the naked eye Olympic could have been mistaken for an exact replica of Titanic but they were not identical copies. Titanic, in terms of tonnage, was larger and details both in the exterior and interior differed. Similar to Titanic, Olympic was designed by Thomas Andrews and literally built side by side to Titanic in the mammoth Gantries of Harland & Wolff's shipyards. That is why Titanic was built alongside two other ships, Olympic and Gigantic, later renamed to Britannic, in 1911. However, whilst faking the sinking of Olympic disguised as Titanic, they accidentally sank Olympic and killed over 1,500 people. Some of the eary White Star publicity releases promote the Olympic alone. The book states that a smaller mystery ship, which was somehow part of the plan accidentally crashed into the side of Olympic and then confused the crew of the California by firing its distress rockets. In fact both Olympic and Titanic were launched with 14 portholes on the port side forecastle on C-Deck and 15 portholes on the starboard side of the same area. It is true the Olympic got the most publicity during the building phase of the two ship. The Olympic made its maiden voyage on June 14, 1911, 10 months before Titanic launched its maiden voyage. Later the Olympic and Titanic are promoted together. Olympic was completed and launched almost exactly twelve months before her infamous sister ship on September 20, 1910 and she had a successful maiden voyage on June 14, 1911. However, in December 1911, during Titanic 's fit out, she had 2 added to light the crews galley and wash room which resulted in a total of 16 as seen in the maiden voyage photographs. No. The Olympic and Titanic were built side by side and the Olympic hull was painted differently than the Titanic at launch.
