Titanic was the 2nd of the olympic class coming into service, so Olympic had all the publicity the year before. :D

Yea Tom even though Olympic got the publicity wouldn't you think Titanic would have gotten at least a little more coverage with all the "celebrities" cream of the crop so to speak travelling on her?
Or was it just that there was not as much media coverage on things in 1912 as there is today? I would think Ismay and White Star Line would have pushed for a lot of coverage and pictures? Betty |

well from what i know ismay wanted the ship to speed up break the olympics time and make the morning headlines in newyork. I beileve that nnot so many pictures were taken of titanic because the ships were identical the titanic bigger and a bit more luxgurious- carpeting etc.

Anthony,
yea I think that would have been a great publicity stunt---Titanic breaking a speed record and getting to New York, of all places faster. So I would think a "reporter" should have been aboard taking all kinds of photos for the big event? Just seems a shame that no "real" Titanic pictures were ever taken Betty |

Betty are you asking wheter or not there were any pictures taken of the ship before she sailed? if so then i am sure there were pictures taken to publicise her, although alot of the pics used were Olympic. i think the private promenade of one of the millionaire suites was photographed, as was the state room that the Cardeza's stayed in. i will look into it for you.

Bess,
Yes, I was wondering why no pictures were taken of Titanic itself rather than Olympic. Just seems like Titanic being so luxurious and carrying so many wealthy passengers should have been played up more in the newspapers? And, not being christened? Geez that should have been a really media blitz, don't you think. I just can't stop wondering "why" this was not so Betty |
