  The date on this photograph - April 10, 1912 is the date that her sister ship, Titanic left Southampton on her fateful maiden voyage. I wonder if this is the Olympic arriving in New York? I know she left New York on April 13 for Southampton and was 500 miles from Titanic during the sinking.

  See query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E07E0D6143CE633A... which says, 'With more than two thousand passengers on board, of whom more than nine hundred were in the first cabin, the White Star liner Olympic from Southampton arrived late yesterday afternoon. As the Olympic steamed into New York harbor, her sister ship the Titanic started on her maiden voyage from Southampton for this city.' Among the passengers was the English actor, Sir John Hare, see www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163476980/

  thanks for the info...that's awesome to know.

  I get the shudders just viewing this at maximum pixel! Small by today's standards, but only because shipbuilders of 100 years ago tended to employ high length:width ratios(9.0 & higher) vs modern liners which are much wider for the same length. If Olympic were 102 feet wide instead of 93 and were one deck taller she would've held the size record for another 10 years.

  Pineapple is the best and the healthiest gift that represents the Sunshine state beauty.

  Must be an earlier shot, perhaps the bow while she was still coming-in. I wonder if the pier is still there?
