Good Day!
I own a copy of Mark Warren's Shipbuilder compilations, and I found a puzzling passage. On page 137, Shipbuilder discusses the Hawke incident and how Olympic would return to Belfast in October for repairs. It then goes on to say,
"Advantage will be taken of Olympic's presence in Belfast to increase the number of suite rooms, as has been done in the case of Titanic, and other work will also be carried out. It is said that the vessel will remain here for about four months."
Wasn't the Olympic's suites added in the 20's? I know that they weren't added before the Titanic sank. I thought that Olympic's first alteration was in 1913. Can someone explain?
Thanks,
David
