STO BONAZZO 🤌🏻🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

Rex is a true gentleman, despite his somewhat eccentric mannerisms.

He is the friend who makes bad jokes and only he understands.

He is the reference point for his brother Conte di Savoia and is often scolded by his older sister, Roma.

He is very close to Queen Mary and Normandie despite their rivalry, and sees them as younger sisters.

Next, SS Normandie... ✨

I'm working on actually worldbuilding my boats (again.) So here's Olympic. I have a ton of stuff to say about her but couldn't fit it all on here. I am, though, cooking an actual story to post on AO3, which should hopefully come out (when it's ready... might be ages.)

Hi I'm not dead. Have humanised Titanic on her uhh... anniversary? Of nothing bad happening of course

I like how the most common comparison to a tasteless Titanic thing is 9/11. Like if someone posts that one Titanic sinking bouncy slide thing, someone will say, "imagine if this was done with the twin towers." Despite the fact that they're not exactly comparable. The Titanic sinking was a freak accident. 9/11 was a deliberate terrorist attack. Where did this come from?

What does it feel like to be personally hated by sex god mike brady

I cry daily knowing that when he says "your friend mike brady" that he ain't talking to me

one negative discord interaction with mike brady has us questioning his entire channel. will give an update when conclusions are drawn

I've been thinking about the Titanic getting people interested in ocean liners only for said people to become interested in others and sort of forget about her. It's like she's standing at the door of a party letting people in but with nobody really talking to her otherwise. Or she's introducing a friend to another friend only for the two of them to become better friends with each other than with her. And then the final nail in the coffin is when they stop seeing Olympic as her big sister and instead start seeing her as Olympic's little sister

Hi everyone!

After noticing some public interest in our original ocean liner discord server, we had the idea of creating a new, more open server for us Tumblr-going ship lovers. Our original one has been fun, but is pretty inactive at this point, so we wanted to gauge interest in perhaps opening a second one for everyone to join. If you’d be down, please leave a like here!

don't mind me i'm still recovering from the bbc news referring to olympic as a replica of the titanic

"A Well-Known Subject at Southampton" By artist Bernard Finnigan Gribble (1872–1962) Southampton City Art Gallery

This is a painting I fell in love with, depicting RMS Olympic on the floating dry dock in the 1930s.

Olympic right before launch, Titanic's hull still under construction behind her

Biblically accurate RMS Olympic

[ivx2810]

I don't believe in curses but there was something going on with the Olympic class ships

[ivx2810]

cunard I love you but how is it possible to make a ship with a giant forehead AND an underbite

This is my favorite piece of “evidence” for the Titanic switch conspiracy. I genuinely lose my mind laughing whenever I look at it.

At first glance, the issue is obvious, right? The ship in the top picture is Titanic, mislabeled as Olympic. Titanic had an enclosed A-deck promenade while Olympic’s was left open. They just switched the names and called it “evidence.”

That’s silly enough as it is, but it gets better. See how the ship in the second picture doesn’t have any funnels?

Titanic wasn’t launched in her final configuration - originally, her A-deck promenade was open, just like her sister’s, and was enclosed later on during the fitting-out process. This is what she looked like right after launch (we know this is Titanic and not Olympic because Olympic was painted light grey for her launch):

Yeah, that’s right. Both of those pictures are of Titanic.

They switched the Titanic with the Titanic.

Fun fact: RMS Mauretania is roughly the same weight as 115,627,163 pigeons

In light of Olympic's birthday she finally gets attention from her crush Mauretania. Whether or not she appreciates it? Who knows
