The depiction is clearly consistant with the Olympic, yes.

Hi Mike, Chad,

Yes, Mike is right. The centered placement of the funnels rule of the Lusi/Maury class, and the funnel color, although not always accurate on these printed tinted cards, is a great help. Obviously Olympic IMHO. I've seen cards like this, and although I don't know much about anything except Mauretania cards, I think this is a scarcer one, and sometimes associated with the maiden voyage if memory serves.

Best,
Eric

Definitely Olympic - the only ship of her class to reach NYC. Is the colour added afterwards? (i.e. I'm assuming this is not a real colour picture?)

 

[Chad Goodwin]

yes the color was added

Hi All,

correction to my post - should have read "The centered placement of the funnels rules out the Lusi/Maury class..."

Best,
Eric
