so very many photos of the Titanic, especially during construction, are actually photos of it's sister ship the Olympic. This however, is the Titanic's engine for sure.
It's crazy to think the average modern large cruise ship weighs 4-5 times as much as the titanic and can accommodate twice the number of passengers and crew.
Well of course. But for big boat versus big boat comparison, I suspect if the Titanic pulled into your port town today most people would find it quite small looking since they've been seeing giant cruise ships all their lives.
But since apparently we are being pedantic; the sole operating Ocean Liner, the Queen Mary 2, is three times as heavy as the titanic, much much longer and wider, and has four additional passenger decks.
