Ocean liner Olympic: the Titanic would follow...

Item # 705824 ·
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, New York, June 24, 1911   The full front page is a print of: The Olympic At Her 900-Foot Pier, New York" focusing on the need to create longer piers for the new class of ships.
This was the sister ship to the Titanic and the Britannic, a trio of White Star Line ships of a new, larger class. The Olympic was completed prior to the Titanic and would be in service until 1935.
A related report inside: "Longer Piers For Giant Steamships". Also of interest is an article with 3 photos: "Uncovering the Maine - How the Work at Havana is Progressing".
Complete in 24 pages, disbound, an older repair at the right, blank margin, generally in good condition.
